Tasty is luxury, strength and all-around utility all in one delightful yarn! It is a smooth and butter-soft yarn with great bounce.

This yarn is lightweight but quite durable, making it an excellent choice for socks when knit at 8 or 9 stitches per inch.

The cashmere lends a subtle halo to the yarn, which makes Tasty a wonderful choice for elegant shawls or scarves.

Tasty would make a fabulous, treasured garment worn next to your skin, so you can touch it all day. Or maybe just keep a skein nearby for fondling. You will enjoy working with Tasty almost as much as you’ll enjoy wearing it.

A note about skein sizing: Self-Striping skeins are available in Classic (100 grams, standard striping repeats) and Jumbo (150 grams, long-repeat stripes). To stash a Classic skein, enter 1 skein. To stash a Jumbo skein, enter 1.5 skeins. See KnitterlyAnne’s scarves in Classic and Jumbo skeins for the difference in stripes.
