Queensland Kathmandu Fingering #32 Speedwell
Step out in style with this exquisite soft lavender, subtly kissed by undertones of blue. This color embodies confidence and success, exuding a personality that’s both bold and sophisticated. The lavender hue evokes the tranquility of evening sunsets, with its slightly dusty appearance and hints of black mingling with flecks of light lavender. Let this captivating shade be your signature of elegance.
Kathmandu Fingering is a wonderful quality yarn. Speedwell has an earthy, slightly homespun appearance due to the flecks of black in the tweed. But the addition of silk and cashmere gives it a luxurious feel.
Queensland's newest Kathmandu family member has new colors. This Summer 2024 collection has 6 new shades:
The silk takes the dye slightly lighter which gives it a rich texture. Nearly a solid color, it is ideal for men and women. This luxurious merino, silk and cashmere tweed is a joy to work with. Your knit or crochet project does not need to be fancy. The yarn stands on its own. Perfect for an office cardigan, buttons or no buttons, long sleeves or short sleeves, it all works. In the summer, those restaurants can be cold! Knit or crochet up a decent size wrap. Maybe throw in a few rows of contrast color, or trim the ends with some lace work or scallop edges. Maybe a small lap robe for your couch or she-shed.
This natural fiber should be hand wash only, in a wool friendly soap. These soaps, such as Eucalan Wash, conditions and moisturize the fibers, keeping it soft and pliable.
