When I saw the Old Town colorway, I knew it needed to be prominent in this project. So, I decided to use it as a background to small slipped stitches so that the different shades of the colorway show through. Slipped stitches look beautiful in colorwork, if I do say so myself. This yarn blooms beautifully when soaked and feels wonderful when worn.
