Milky Way doubleknitting

On November 4, 2011, in double knitting, yarn, by Anna

When I was at TNNA in June, I had the chance to meet the lovely ladies of Anzula.  They had a lot of very bright, colourful yarn and I really fell for their Milky Way base.  It’s a light fingering weight yarn (500 yds/100 g) made out of 80% milk protein and 20% super wash merino.  When I saw it, I immediately started planning a double-knit shawl.  There were many colours to choose from, but I eventually settled on Elephant and Cornflower.

Right now I’m just playing, and not knitting the real thing yet, but I like it.

Since it’s double-knit, it’s pretty on both sides, and the colours are inverted.

My double knitting has been languishing recently, since I’ve been so busy with lace and fingerless mittens, but it’s really nice to get back to it.  I expect lots of progress on this in the next little while.
