We recently introduced you to a new shade of Merino Magic, 'natural fleck'. I made mention of how difficult it was to see the true nature of this yarn in the ball, and we were swamped with requests to see a sample of the yarn knitted up. So I've rolled out my trusty 4mm knitting needles, and I'm now proud to present to you the finished product! As you can see, the flecking is not too heavy, and is in both light and dark shades of brown. The subtle flecking adds interest to the finished work without dominating the piece (in the way a double-shade twisted yarn would).
Our next edition of 'Nimble Fingers' will feature a Fingerless Gloves pattern utilising this yarn which we hope you'll enjoy. These gloves are great during the colder weather when you want to keep your hands warm but need your fingers free for fine work (such as when knitting or typing, for example). The above sample is actually a section from the back of the glove.
We hope this knitted up sample gives you a better insight into the character of this new yarn, and we're so pleased we could bring it to you!
