When Paola first told me about her latest yarn, I was really excited.
A blend of Tibetan Cloud, Baby Yak and a bit of linen on top sounded perfect.
And my expectations were more than fulfilled!
Fior di Lino is a joy to knit with and produces a wonderfully soft, yet beautifully supple fabric. The stitch definition and the drape are absolutely amazing. Perfect for sweaters and accessories.
Knowing how important fair and safe working conditions are to mYak, along with their great love and respect for the environment, makes Fior di Lino a yarn I can recommend with all my knitter’s heart.
… and I feel really honoured that Paola invited me to contribute to the colour palette of this beautiful yarn!

Fiorellino is worked seamlessly from the top down.
Starting with the neck shaping, short rows are worked back and forth to create a higher back neck. The yoke is then worked in the round to sleeve separation. Increases are worked into the textured part of the yoke, followed by raglan increases for the lower part of the yoke. Sleeve stitches are placed on hold to work the body top down. The short sleeves are worked top down in rounds to the cuffs. No finishing required.

The textured pattern for the yoke is written (no charts).
