Yarn selection for the Italian Tee
If you are registered for the Y2Knit Experience Tuscany
or the Y2Knit Experience Tuscany Armchair Traveler,
please select your color of yarn and
email us with your choice. If we have your selection by Feb 20,
you will have the yarn for starting the online Italian Tee workshop on March
17, though joining in later is fine too.
You will receive 2 hanks
of
Merino Lace from Skacel as part of your enrollment. This lovely
yarn is made in Italy!
The look, as conceived
by Jill, is longer in the body (hers is 24.5”—she usually knits a 21.5”
top), but you have the option of choosing your own length. Jill’s sleeves
also are long-extending 1.5” below her wrist, and again you will have the
option of choosing your sleeve length. All things being equal, the two
skeins will be enough up to a 44” (body) chest.
If you are larger
than that, or don’t like to live with uncertainty, purchase an
extra skein!
This is lovely yarn and we’ll probably have ideas for using up any
leftovers!
The Tee is in-the-round with garter
ridges in a Fibonacci pattern (more about this famous Italian as we
get into the project).
