The Yarn that Would Not Die

In response to Jackie, who asked me what yarn & size needles I’d used for my orange scarf, I’m using a US Size 6 needle, with the same worsted-weight microfiber I’ve been trying to get rid of for ages! It’s Lyon Brand, “micro-spun,” described as “an ultrasoft microfiber sports yarn.” I bought 6 skeins of it & it’s taking forever to go through! I managed to get two full-sized hats out of the yellow bit ( #1, #2 ), this scarf as well as an Orange Hat from the orange balls, with some left over, and to get a hat and scarf out of the blue ones.

I’ve started some of them on smaller needles, or have taken them to size 7 needles, depending on what I’ve got available (and not tied up in some other project). I’m currently doing Branching Out with the rest of the orange yarn, and will hopefully manage to finish it sometime soon, although I’ve only done about 2.5 repetitions of the pattern so far.

  1. Ahh. Yes, for some reason I want to make it into a fancy French yarn or something; instead of the Barnum-n-Bailey / Ringling-Brothers kind of Lion, I want to make it like Lyons, France.

    Could be because I’m doing a project for a company in France, I suppose. Hmm…
