Color Update

A lot of things are happening at this time of the year. Here is an update of what is newly available in the shop. Some colorways are brand-new, others are old favorites making a re-appearance.

All yarns are 100% cotton and very soft; the yarns are fingering weight, some are also available as sport weight skeins. They all change colors gradually to create a unique effect.

GEMSTONES


SEAWEED


PEACOCK

Adelei Shawl

Here is my newest project fresh off the needles: Adelei Shawl




Pattern: Adelei Shawl by Wendy Neal
Yarn: one 100 gr skein (480 yards)of Color Changing Cotton in colorway KHAKI - available here
Needles: US #3 or 3.25 mm

The pattern is well written and easy to follow (Wendy provides both charts and written line-by-line instructions); I enjoyed the combination of stockinette and lace edging. The result is a cute little shawl or shawlette. :)

Ocean Serenade Shawl

The Fans of Wolle's Yarn Creations-Group on Ravelry recently completed a Mystery KAL - and the final result looks like this:



The designer is Christiane Burkhard; the pattern is now available on her website: lismiknits.blogspot.com. She has also much nicer pictures of the shawl...

The shawl is knitted sideways in a drop stitch pattern and requires 2 x 100 gr skeins of Color Changing Cotton, which is available in my shop, wollesyarncreations.etsy.com. I used colorway APPLES I + II.

New Colors!!

Here are a bunch of new colors now available in the shop (I know I am lagging behind here... but at least I am current with knitting swatches...LOL) Here we go:

All colors are fingering weight cotton yarns available either at 50 gr and/or 100 gr skeins. The skeins change colors gradually creating a unique effect.

Jeansy Green Summer Top

I finished my Jeansy Green Summer Top. It is a straight forward, easy knit: from the top down, all in one piece, without any seams.



Yarn: Two skeins of Wolle's Yarn Creations' 6-ply yarn
Colorway: Jeansy Green
Store: Wollesyarncreations.etsy.com
Pattern: "Easy Does It" by Doreen L Marquart (published in: Top Down Sweaters)
Needles: 4mm or US #6
Size: medium (bust size 40)

New Colors

I just added some new colorways to the shop, Wolle's Yarn Creations.

TRIPLE BERRY I + II and SUMMER NIGHT I + II


The yarns are 100% cotton and have a yardage of 480 per 100 gr skein; they change colors gradually. One skein is usually enough for a midsize shawl or shawlette. Recommended needle size: US 2-4

Tuscany Shawl

Finished!! Tuscany Shawl


Pattern: Tuscany by Amy R. Singer (published in the book: No Sheep for You)
Yarn: Wolle's Yarn Creations' 4-ply cotton; 1 skein in BLUE BASIL
Needles: 3.25 mm
Measurements: 63 inches along the straight edge, 18 inches down the middle

The pattern looks much more complicated than it is - the lace repeat is straight forward and easy to memorize. I really like the shape of this shawl: it is really wide and fairly "flat" making it perfect for wrapping around the neck.

LILAC BLOSSOMS

Lilacs are blooming,
so here are LILAC BLOSSOMS I and II.

My LILAC BLOSSOMS aren't as fragnant as the real ones, but they last longer... :)
