Flourish, with its slender bias triangle shape, showcases a highly textured combination of slipped stitch colorwork and intricate aster stitches achieved through assigned pooling. Assigned pooling occurs when a change in texture is isolated within a change in color in a skein of specially designed variegated yarn.

An assigned pooling colorway paired with a contrasting companion color are used to create a structured grid over which the random aster stitches float. It uses just two skeins of our softest merino-silk single ply base for maximum comfort and drape.

Yarn:​​ 1 skein of Prairie Smoke plus 1 skein of Octobers
on Barker Wool Silky Solo, (75% SW Merino /25% Silk fingering weight, single ply 100g/437 yards per skein)
