Yarn / IdentityKAL / I chose one of my favorite yarns, Civility from Elemental Affects, for Somerset Stole. I asked for a skein of Fingering in one of the new 2019 colors, but my order got lost. When it came time to get the sample knit I pulled the only skein I had off the shelf. I had a partial skein from my initial swatching too. I ended up loving the Amber, and I think it is lovely in this stole. I wanted the stole to be deeper, but even using the partial skein, there wasn't enough. ⠀ ⠀ Civility Fingering 3-ply worsted spun, 70% US Merino, 30% Mulberry Silk, 4 oz, 500 yds. I think you should use this yarn, but if you can't, the properties are important to replicate. Merino is a smooth wool fiber with a light hand. Mulberry Silk has sheen, and is a filament fiber, so it also smooth. The combination creates a drape-y finished fabric that blocks more open than it knits. The higher percentage of silk adds to the smooth, memorable feeling of the yarn; despite the flattening of the fabric, it has good stitch definition. #identitykal #kalknitters #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #knittersgonnaknit #knittersoftheworld #pandemicknitters #pandemicknitting #pandemicknittingtherapy #pandemicknittingprojects #knittedaccessories #knittedshawls #yarn #yarnlove #yarnspirations https://www.instagram.com/p/B_KzcxoJIub/?igshid=1somtocmv1uyz
