But yes, half-patent with garter stitch again.
Minu arust tuleb ilus, reljeefne kude.
To my mind, the texture is beautiful and well-defined.
Koos on kaks lõnga: paljudele lugejatele tuttav Haapsalu (Midara, 100 % vill, 100 g/1400 m) ja Baltica (ka Midara oma ja samuti 100 % vill, 50 g/250 m).
Two yarns held together: Haapsalu, known to my readers (by Midara, 100 % wool, 100 g/1400 m) and Baltica (also by Midara and 100 % wool, 50 g/250 m).
Nagu näete, lõngade kombinatsioon muudab pisut värvi; peenvillane annab juurde mahtu. Vaatamata oma metraažile, ei tundu Baltica väga peenike. Mul pole praegu tüüpilist sokilõnga (50 g/200-220 m) ega sarnase metraažiga Aade 8/2 (100 g/400 m), et panna kõik kolm kõrvuti ja näidata erinevust. Metraaž on oluline, kuid ainult sellega arvestada ei saa, sest loeb koostis (sokilõngades on 20-25 % sünteetilist kiudu) ja see, kas lõng on tiheda keeruga või pigem õhuline ja kohev. Baltica on kohev. Koon kogu kupatust 5 mm vardaga. Visuaalselt ja taktiilselt meenutab 3-kordsed Shetlandi villast, millest tegin selle kampsuni.
As you see, the combination of the yarns changes the colour a little bit; laceweight wool adds to the texture. Despite the yardage, Baltica does not feel as a thin yarn. I do not have a typical sock yarn at hand (50 g/200-220 m) neither Aade 8/2 with a similar metrage (100 g/400 m) in order to make a comparative picture of all three and to show the difference. Metrage is important but it is not a whole story because what matters is fiber compositon (sock yarns have 20-25 % artificial fibers) and whether a yarn is tightly spun or is rather airy and fluffy. Baltica is fluffy. I am knitting the whole thing with 5 mm needles. Visually and upon touch the mixture reminds 3-ply Shetland wool that I used for this cardi.
