I've got this yarn sitting on the middle of my cutting table. My intention was to sell it, but the more I looked at it the more I realized I wasn't quite ready to let it go. It is a cotton blend and I have 726 yards and it supposedly knits to a gauge of 3 1/2 stitches per inch, although I haven't really tried it yet. I am sure I can do something with this, but I haven't spent enough time to figure out what it wants to be.
Should it be a cardigan? A pullover? Something lacy? I suspect the first step is to play with some swatches.
Although I have other things to work on and those UFOs are still calling my name. Some swatch play may be in the works.
Do I want a pu

Pretty — I like that tweedy, nubby, texture and the mix of colours.

Pretty, yes, but it looks like it would obsure any stitch pattern. Nice big gauge, though–it would knit up quickly. It could be fun to play with for a while. I’m sure you’ll decide what you want to do once you start swatching.
