I purchased this yarn in a thrift store and it sat for a long time in my stash as I didn’t know what it wanted to be. I saw this intriguing small cable stitch pattern online and I thought it might work even with the multi-coloured look to this yarn. The overall motif, when knit up, reminded me of the bark of a tree. Rindene is Old English for tree bark.
