The Curious Observer Lace X S Slub 7

This is what happens when you combine two textured yarns together in one project by holding the strands together.

The Age of Brass and Steam Kerchief (Ravelry link) designed by Orange Flower Yarn - knitted shawl by Countess Ablaze.

This pattern has a heavy emphasis on stockinette (stocking stitch) which shows off the textured fabric. Sometimes simple stitches are what is needed to really showcase a yarn.

The pattern is designed for one skein of DK weight yarn (approximately 225 metres) so makes for a quick project, perfect for travel knitting or watching TV.

The yarns I've used are:

Base name - The Curious Observer Lace
Country of origin - South African Mohair spun in Peru
Fibre - 72% kid Mohair & 28% mulberry silk
Thickness - lace weight
Weight - 50 grams / 1.75oz
Length - 420 metres / 459 yards
Needle size - 2.25mm - 4mm
Washing guidance - hand wash at low temperatures

Base name - S Slub 7
Country of origin - South American wool spun in Peru
Fibre - 90% superwash Merino wool & 10% Nylon
Thickness - 4ply / Fingering weight
Weight - 100 grams / 3.5oz
Length - 400 metres / 437 yards
Needle size - 2.25mm - 4mm
Washing guidance - machine washable at low temperatures but hand washing advised to preserve the vibrancy of the dye

I've put some yarn combos together to create your own textured knits. These yarns are from Rebel Batches and therefore not repeatable colourways, so once they're gone, they're gone.
