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.

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.
