Notes

This is another very quick knit. I’m using my hand spun for the border and a commercial DK for the foundation colour

I’m following one of the variations using the foundation colour for the ridges.

The hand-spun has been n-plied and shows the colour gradient well.

A dense fabric which can be both an accessory and keep you warm.

I’m delighted how this has turned out.
