    About

    I fell in love with this variegated silk -- cobalt, teal, sky blue and more. It is extremely soft but surprisingly strong, as I discovered when I had to frog 2 1/2 inches because i accidentally did two increase rows next to each other. I can't wait to finish it.

    4-16-17. I ended up ordering a third skein, based on the experiences of other knitters on ravelry.com, and used about 2.3 skeins, about 374 yards. After I blocked it with sprayed water, I added some beads just for fun. It drapes beautifully, and the silk shimmers.
