À faire avec la Metropolis rose et charcoal

September 25, 2023

Made a first swatch with 3,75, and blocked. Not exactly on gauge and because this yarn blooms a little after blocking, I will use 4,00 instead of 3,75. The fabric will be fine, not too airy but with a nice drape. I put my Shiftigan on stoppers and used those 3,50mm needles to cast-on the ribbing.

I love this pattern! Very easy to follow, and well made.

The yarn is nice to work with, it blooms and softens a lot after washing. However, it does pill quite a bit, but for the price point; it’s still a good choice.
