Overview

Penelope is a knitted chainette that magically turns into a sock weight by simply unravelling the thread. This 75% wool/ 25% polyamide is perfect for socks, shawls and fingerless gloves. The magical colorations have a hand dyed quality to them - one hank makes an adult pair of socks.

Not a fan

I don't care much for this yarn. It is very rough on the hands when working with it. I hope it softens when it is washed. While I do like the self-striping, I was unable to get my socks to match as there was not a section of the starting color any place in the hank.that was as long as the beginning. I also feel that due to the chainette-style of the hank, it is like working with reclaimed yarn. The resulting fabric on size 1.5 needls is lumpy and bumpy. I won't be buying this yarn again.

Fun to use

I am currently working on a pair of socks in the calypso color way. The yarn is fun to unravel as you knit. It is a little scratchy after it is knit up, but I don't think that would be too big of a problem. I like how every stripe is a different width. There is so much variety in how the stripes come out. I highly recommend this yarn if you want to have some fun knitting with fingering weight.
