Notes

This top actually weights 377 g, but I used 8 balls and a third. I see they weren’t full balls… So I think it required less yardage than recommended in the pattern.

I took the photos before blocking, but I do not like the straps curling, I have to make something.

I find a bit difficult to work with bouclé yarn, but I really love the resulting fabric! Now I’m wondering what to do with the leftover yarn…

I usually call this top “carbonara” because of the yarn: it looks like spaghetti with eggs, so my boyfriend named it after a famous pasta recipe!


In realtà il top pesa 377 g, ma ho usato 8 gomitoli e un terzo. Evidentemente non erano gomitoli pieni… Penso quindi che mi ci sia voluto un metraggio inferiore a quello indicato.

Ho fatto le foto prima del bloccaggio, ma non mi piace che le spalline si arrotolino, devo fare qualcosa.

Usare il bouclé è faticoso per me, ma il risultato mi piace un sacco! Ora sto pensando a cosa fare con la quantità rimasta…

Chiamo questo top “carbonara” per via del filato: somiglia a spaghetti con le uova, quindi il mio ragazzo l’ha chiamato così!
