Berroco Remix
Berroco Remix is an Aran Weight blend of 30% Nylon, 27% Cotton, 24% Acrylic, 10% Silk, 9% Linen/Flax. Put-up is 216 yards/100 grams.
I received this yarn as a gift in May, 2012. It is made with recycled fiber, which I find really interesting.
I matched the yarn up with this pattern fairly quickly. I’m glad I have an excuse to finally make it!
I am using US Size 6 interchangeable square needles. I found these tips very helpful when relearning how to knit, after my injury, and happened to have them handy when it came time to start this project.
I’m making this as a gift, and am about a third of the way done.
The design is pretty, so far, and pleasant to knit. I have stitch-markers between pattern repeats, so I don’t have to count.
The yarn is a yummy faded-brick color (love!). Due to the fiber content, it doesn’t have much give or spring, so it is a bit harder on the hands than, say, something woollier would be.
Still, it is knitting up lovely and soft, showing the pattern well. I’m happy that it will go to a good home – and that it will be an easy-care gift for its recipient: She will be able to just toss it in the machine.
‘A Noble Cowl’ is designed by Emily Kausalik-Whittle. If you’d like to make it, too, it is available as a free download on Ravelry.
Enjoy!
