Here is the Thayer scarf I knitted for Brooklyn Tweed designer, Leila Raabe, in the new Loft yarn. It was so nice to have the opportunity to knit with this lovely yarn. It comes in 32 colors and is perfect for lace or colorwork projects. The Loft Collection features a variety of patterns designed with this delightful yarn.
I used size 5 (3.75 mm) Addi Lace needles and Loft in the Stormcloud colorway for this project. The pattern calls for size 6 needles and I usually have to go up a needle size, however, the yarn was very springy. I did not knit so tightly and achieved the desired gauge with size 5 needles. The intricate lace patterning is created in every row of this design. Jared Flood blocked it and the photos on the Brooklyn Tweed sight turned out beautifully.
Congratulations to Jared, Leila, and Michele on yet another successful yarn line.
Beautiful! Sounds like it was something that took quite a bit of concentration, with patterning in every row.
