I bought the Tivoli yarn (from Ireland) last time I was in the UK. I simply had to buy one of the Tivoli yarns , because I live in Tivoli, NY, USA. How cool is that?!
I finally decided to double the yarn with my left-over Manos to give it a little added color, make it a little less shiny and give it more definition.
The shoulder cozy has a simple elegance and I know I will be wearing it because I sometimes wear the store sample shoulder cozy which was done up in Shibui silk + Shibui mohair and silk.
The Tivoli yarn is a heavier yarn than the suggested worsted in the pattern, then with the added fingering yarn on US 13 needles it gives me a more dense fabric, but so far I like it. I was thinking to go up a needle size, but decided to keep the denser look plus I will be blocking it.
