VIP by Lana Gato

This scrumptuous 80% extrafine merino/20% cashmere makes a wonderful weight for a lightweight garment and is also a great choice for intricate colorwork mittens a la Latvian, Estonian, Sweedish, Lithuanian, etc traditions!

​

And if, like Mitzi, you are willing to knit at this gauge for a full garment (see photo of black cardigan in gallery!), then you will have a wonderfully cozy and warm, but lightweight sweater to cuddle up in all winter!

​

Each 50 gm ball has 218 yards and it's recommended knit at 7-8 sts/inch on a US 1-3 needle.

​

The merino gives it lots of lovely memory/elasticity which cashmere lacks, but because it is "extrafine" merino and therefore  a finer micron count than regular merino, it does't detract from the softness of the cashmere!

Price:  $15.99/ball
