I love trifle, an English dessert where fruit and cream are piled one on top of the other.
While I was enjoying this dessert, I thought of layering yarn like colorful fruit with white cream. That should be a great idea for a shawl. Candy-colored yarn would look great in combination with a matching plain yarn.
The interplay of smooth knits and textured purls creates a lovely 3D effect as the scarf wraps itself around the neck.
I can’t wait to see which trifle you will create.
