I didn’t manipulate with striping and joined the skeins as I went, because I didn’t know if I’d have enough yarn. The yoke itself used over one skein. = I used all the yarn from my stash. Perfect!
I love how it turned out, this yarn is perfect for this project, light, airy, colorful (the pics don’t do any justice - the colors are more pastel in reality).
Think I might make one for me too, but not stripey ;-)
It came out a little too big, but just slightly, which is actually OK, as she might enjoy it longer. And she loves it. YAY! I think this color is so flattering paired with her complexion.
