I love seeing hanks of yarn ready washed and waiting to be swatched! This is Knit Picks Cotlin yarn, which is a great blend of (you guessed it!) cotton and linen.
I used this yarn in the Hamilton Table Runner pattern last year and loved the way it came out. For that one I used a deep red colour, Pomegranate and loved the way the yarn showed the stitch definition so well.
However, this time I have chosen a pretty set of fresh Spring colours to try. They are (L to R):
Swan, Linen, Conch, Sagebrush, Hydrangea and Surf.
I'll post some more photos once I have wound them up and made a start! And if you'd like to know why I always pre‐ wash my yarns, then have a look at this blogpost from the BYOB Market Bag Knit‐along.
Until next time – Happy Knitting!
