Hello, bright and shining beauty! I finished knitting an 8-stranded cardigan - all the deets on WHY and HOW I did it are here! https://blog.expressionfiberarts....com//why-i-knit-an-8-str/ I used: Cashsilk Sock yarn in a pale cream with soft green specks. A tester color not available on the site. Our Moon colorway is a great alternative. -Mirage Fingering discontinued for now. It was a one-time shipment dealio but we’re hoping to have a sport weight version soon. Cashsilk Sock is a great alternative. Alpaca Silk Lace in various shades. I pulled colors from our Kai Hues kit. -Pearlescent Fingering a shimmering single ply yarn. I mainly used a soft pink hue. I don’t have a near-dupe available in the shop but our Pink Pearl Cashsilk would be awesome in its stead. Note: We are a small, hand-dyed yarn company so colors come and go rapidly. Feel free to request any of these or other past shades. We can’t always acquiesce, but sometimes we can! So if you’re wanting to create something similar, just opt for any color combo from our Fingering or Lace weight categories. You can use ANY combination of yarns you like, so long as you GET GAUGE. That is what matters. Try holding several strands of worsted weight together or Dk or a lace with a sport with a dk, etc. Endless combinations. Use up that stash, baby! I'd love to see your version if you make one! Link to the pattern is in the blog post.

Does anyone else struggle with the thought of dealing with yarn ends? Some of you will be very organised and will work them in as you go, very methodically. O...thers of you will want to push on with the crochet and leave them all to the end and then look in horror at the hundreds of ends that need sewing in! We don't have any easy answers for you but we do have a great technique download on how to deal with your yarn ends! https://www.janiecrow.com//dealing_with_yarns_ends_janie_c
