Velvet
Ever desired a chenille yarn that won't worm or bias and still feels like heaven? Let me introduce you to Velvet, our
newest yarn for fall 2007. A new type of construction, Velvet is a light railroad style ribbon that has one chenille edge.
When knitted, the fabric acquires an incredibly plush, soft hand reminiscent of your favorite cozy towels or bathrobe--but
with more elegance and sophistication! Bits of ribbon show through, adding an extra detail. When worked on a larger needle
or more openly with long stitches or in eyelet designs, the combination of ribbon and chenille shows through even more.
Patterns include a tailored, fitted jacket
with ribbon pinstripes and a flounced collar; a ruffled shrug and an elegant wrap.
