Fern: 100% nylon 2oz/ 45 yds suggested gauge: 12 sts = 4" # 11 needle Here is one of the original "fake furs"--and in my opinion, the best. It is incredibly soft and silky, with a dense, draped hand when knit. Although it is nylon (which takes our hand dyed colors beautifully), it does not have a "synthetic" feel to it. While Fern can certainly be knit into outrageous fake fur garments all on its own, we like it best when used sparingly--either a few scattered rows to add lush texture as you can see bleow, as a fur trim such as on our wrap (4004) in Book 40, or as a fun accent scarf. We have even custom dyed Fern in team colors for a store in Pittsburgh! While fake furs may come and go, Fern is one for the ages. |
