| In Threes by Kelly Herdrich |
Designer: Kelly Herdrich
Size Knit: 0-6 months
Yarn: Delicious Yarns: Frosting Worsted (100% superwash) 220 yards
Colourway: 110 Raspberry
Added Notes:
1. I was given the opportunity to try a new to me yarn called Delicious Yarns from California. It was a hard to choose just one skein, as this company has a wide variety of yarn bases, yarn weights and colours to choose from. I decided to go with Frosting Worsted which is a kettle dyed tonal yarn, available in 25 different colours. The colourway I chose was Raspberry, and when I received the yarn and started swatching with it, I couldn't believe how soft it was. It was perfect for a baby gift I wanted to knit for a friend. To be completely honest I didn't look closely at the yarn label and I assumed that I was knitting with a base that contained cashmere. It wasn't until I was writing this blog that I had a closer look at the label, and to my surprise realized it was 100% superwash merino. It is that soft.
2. In Threes has been knit almost 7500 times and I can see why it is so popular. This is an easy pattern for a beginner and is available from the smallest size (0-6months) to a size 5. It is knit from the top down, and as it is knit in worsted weight yarn it is perfect for that quick gift. I will definitely knit this pattern again.
3. Delicious Yarns have generously offered a coupon code for readers of my blog. You can get 20% off your purchase of any Delicious Yarns by using the code DY2WC20. It expires on 10/29/17. Delicious Yarns offers a variety of yarn weights and colours. For example, there are tonals, contrast colours and speckles. They also have a Gourmet line with yarn containing seacell and silk blend as well as another yarn combining mohair and silk. Next time I would like to try CB Frosting which is a cotton/bamboo blend. It's always great to discover another indie dyer company. This company is definitely worth checking out. Have a look!
