Wool that's on the lacey side...

New out this season (well new to me anyway!) is wool you can get that has the lace factor already built-into the yarn itself, giving it quite an interesting effect.


The lacey yarn

Instructions came with the lacey ball on how to make a scarf. It is quite different to knit with - no wrapping around the needle required. Instead you insert your needle into the already made loops - through the back of one, then the front of the next one. Then you basically loop the loops together. A set of good pointed needles is definitely required!


Threading the loops onto the needle


My progress

Not sure this one will be actually something I will like to wear, but just nice to try out a different technique :)
