Mirasol Yarn - Kancha - Valle Sagrado 04
Kancha yarn comes in beautiful water color shades. Bright lime green grading down to a very soft yellow. The cotton wrap doesn't take the dye quite as deeply, so the cotton is wrapped around the wool in a thick and thin twist giving this color more character.
The lambswool and cotton blend creates an airy fabric Great for summer garments, wraps and even baby wear It has drape and very little body So use this feature for sleeveless tops, or short sleeve tops, and of course any shawl or wrap But not really suitable for long sweaters or cardigans as the garment tend to lengthen Knit, crocheted or machine knit, it would be good on all Our shawl sample is crocheted and used just one hank It steam blocks out beautiful, we are very happy the with results.
The pattern we used was Falling Blossoms Shawl by Ana D on Ravelry It is written for a different size yarn, but we made it work We used a 4.5mm hook and one hank of yarn We cut back on the 2 sections so that we could have a full flower lace section It was a test If we did it again, we'd use 2 hanks so we could do full sections and a touch more length But its really cute none-the-less, don't you think?
