Notes

I have used Imbue Worsted before and it’s just lovely and so very soft. I love that they are now offering it in a sport weight, although it easily knits up as a DK weight or more for me. With size 6 needles my gauge was 20 sts for 4 inches. I made the smallest size and was able to get a 35” bust with my gauge. I made 3 sets of waist decreases but added back only two sets of increases. I made the neck 1”; did a regular long tail cast on and eliminated the purl round after the ribbing.

The pattern was so fun but this yarn is nothing short of magnificent. I ordered more for a Christmas sweater and feel like I need another sweaters worth too! I feel like I want to throw my stash away and just knit with this. It’s very springy, bouncy and stretchy. Stockinette is very even and colorwork is perfection plus it’s very very soft. It’s merino so I expect a little pilling but the yarn held up very well with knitting and I have super high hopes for it.

They need a bigger color selection! Also, I’d like to see this in a true fingering weight. Love this sport (dk/worsted) but it would be nice to have this exact yarn in an even lighter weight.
