One of my favorite topic to talk is yardage. Really...I can't emphasize more especially when knitting garments.
🧶
I will always look for the longest and the lightest weight of yarn if possible for a garment. This is so much needed so the end product does not looks too heavy and uncomfortable to wear later. The hard work of working with very thin thread will really pay off later.
Believe me, It will be your go to piece when you want to wear it
In the past,I learnt the hard way by using wrong yarn weight to construct something which in the end looks very heavy and I may not want to wear again. ( • ᴖ • ｡)
For this piece, I used Jade Sapphire Khata yarn 50% Yak, 50% Silk Yarn. And ONLY 1 skein for the main body. All 700yards put into good use. And for the neckline, I used a lime green yarn from my stash to add up those rows before casting off.
Really I can't believe when I finished knitting. I was blown away by this luxuryyarn. Wearing it sure feels Silky and very light 😍😍😍
It feels like just wearing feathers. The warmth from the 50% yak... wow.. I can really feel it. This is my sure to pack piece if I'm travelling to cold countries. it will be really a good inner wear for me.
I foresee wearing this often for my travels.
