Shimmer & Shine with the Sangria Sunset Scarf

Looking for a vibrant project to brighten up your knitting needles? Want a beautiful way to showcase a special skein and brush up on your lace knitting skills? Tabetha Hedrick’s Sangria Sunset scarf is a fun knit for all skill levels. Delicate lace set against soft hand-dyed SeaSilk Lace creates a stunning effect—like the setting sun spreading golden hues across the sky. Light, soft, and sweet, this lovely scarf is a delight to knit and wear. 

THE SANGRIA SUNSET PATTERN

The original sample was knit in SweetGeorgia Flaxen Silk Fine, a light fingering-weight yarn that is a linen and silk blend. It is one of our most popular bases for knitters who are looking for something wool-free that produces a crisp yet drapey fabric.

For the newest Sangria Sunset sample, we chose to showcase SweetGeorgia SeaSilk Lace in the mesmerizing Honey Gold colourway. This heavier 2-ply lace weight yarn, with a blend of seacell and silk, has a soft twist and lofty hand that shimmers, drapes, and delights. The colours shine with such depth that it’s hard to put down.

Both yarns offer beautiful drape and stitch definition, and each works wonderfully with this pattern. You can also customize the scarf to suit your personality! For a wider scarf, simply add more stitches in multiples of 10. This scarf is worked flat in two halves and then grafted together in the middle. When winding your skein, divide it in half by weight to use up as much yarn as possible for each half,

Three Fundamental Weave Structures (And Why You Need To Know Them)

Image
Do you find yourself fondling fabrics? Touching textiles? Daydreaming of a home or wardrobe featuring your very own handwoven fabrics? How would you go about choosing fabric for your cushion, chair, or skirt, let alone design that fabric yourself? If  form follows function , then let’s start to read our fabrics and understand how different weave structures give us the characteristics we want. Warp and Weft, Under and Over We can define weave structures by the ways the threads pass over and under each other. The  warp  is what is on the loom under tension and runs vertically in the cloth. It is lowered and/or raised to form sheds. The  weft  is what we throw through the open shed and beat in pick-by-pick. The weft runs horizontally in the cloth. The warp runs vertically in the cloth; the weft runs horizontally. Each time the weft and the warp travel from back-to-front or front-to-back of the cloth, they interlace and form a binding point. These interlacemen...

Plying Tips for Handspun Yarn Success

Image
WHAT is Plying? Plying is when bobbins containing handspun singles are removed from the wheel, placed on a lazy kate, and then subjected to more twist.  To achieve a balanced yarn, more twist is added in the opposite direction of the first twist. This is not always the case, however. Some designer yarns add the second twist in the same direction as the first twist. This article is a review of some of the key aspects of plying handspun for balanced yarns using a spinning wheel. Transforming handspun singles into multi-ply yarn offers numerous benefits. WHY Ply? Many factors come into play when choosing whether or not to ply my singles. To give you some food for thought, here are just a few considerations I use in my own practice: Give a Yarn Strength The more plies, the stronger the yarn. Unless I want a dense fabric, I usually weave with singles or 2-ply yarns. Multi-ply yarns are good for strong rug warps or fabrics requiring densely packed weft yarns. One way I...

How To Knit a Tubular Cast On

Image
The tubular cast on is an invisible cast on that’s great for hems cuffs and ribbing edges, where you want to have a bit of elasticity. We have both video and written instructions available in this post. Let’s get started! Print How To Knit a Tubular Cast On Author Tabetha Hedrick Equipment 1 Scrap yarn (smooth) 1 Knitting (working) yarn 1 Knitting Needles 1 Scissors Instructions Tubular Cast On Setup Now, to begin, you're going to want to cast on approximately half of the number of stitches that you need, minus one. For example, if the pattern calls for 77 stitches, you're going to cast on 35. If the pattern calls for 19 stitches, I'm going to cast on 10. With your waste yarn, work 4-5 rows in stockinette stitch, ending at the end of a right-side row (you'll be ready to work a wrong-side row in the next part). Cut your waste yarn.
