...due, no doubt, to the cashmere content of the yarn. It really does pay to use great yarn.
Another Gretel is also complete - this time using the Rowan Felted Tweed that I pulled back from the unsuccessful Beret/Tam which turned out too floppy and insubstantial.
I used the yarn double, which made it quite thick. But good for this pattern, I think. The original pattern states worsted, which I believe is equivalent to UK aran weight...
It blocked quite big, so will be a bit more slouchy, perhaps.
I'm now trying a mixture of the Felted Tweed and ICE Baby Alpaca. So far, so good I think.
