Lacey Linen for
Summer
04/07/10
Here's one of those gorgeous summer fibres I
was talking about in our last post. I used a version
of the classic Feather and Fan pattern, 4.5 mm
needles, 40 stitches & 1 skein (246 metres) to
knit this scarf from Louet's Euroflax Sport Weight
100% wet spun linen. The colourway is Willow and it
has that very crisp feel that linen has but will get
softer the more it is washed. And the good news is,
Euroflax is machine washable and dryable. One of our
customers purchased it in the Pewter colourway to
knit the "Diaphaneity" top in this summer's issue of
Interweave Knits magazine.
