Shawl, wool, mohair, nylon and rayon, rib stitch, size 11 cable needle, 24 in.
These three yarns, although three different brands, all have the same colorway. It appears slighly differently in each yarn because the fibers take the dye differently.
I am enjoying the texture of each yarn. They are wildly different weights. I am striping by doing one of the three for each row and keeping the order the same through the three yarns. The fabric is lacy, fuzzy and I think it will be warm. It's knitting up very quickly because of the somewhat large needle size.
The rib stitch provides a vertical line which counter balances the strong horizontal stripes created by the differences in yarns. It will be quite stretchy and comfy.
