subtle stripes yoke

Posted on September 18, 2010 by cosymakes

this whacking big skein is a commission.

508 yds
subtle stripes, without all the stripes being even
i’m always surprised with what the subtle stripes look like when done, i never would have predicted how strong the green would be plied with the teal! i also added in a bit of red/purple for contrast.

i cannot wait to see the finished sweater!

Fabulous. That looks like it was a tough one to ply but it turned out beautifully. I love the contrasts!
