Notes on Yarns

For the main colour I held together the bulky weight cotton/bamboo with a strand of Kidsilk. The effect is magical. Adding warmth, coziness and generally making for a more luxurious garment.

Total Contrast color 98g

18/11/2020 I was not happy with the tension. So I ripped out the colourwork & reknit it.
Second time is much better.
Using short strands for intarsia & weaving in constantly.
Work is smooth, even and has no holes on the side of the colour work.
