Web-Letter, Issue 114 – Ariosa Dress in Color It's easy for me to fall in love with the shape, style and texture of a garment, but when the time comes for choosing what color to make it in, I'm often stumped. Photoshop has become a staple tool in helping me visualize which color I like best with a design. Take a look below at Cecily Glowik MacDonald's Ariosa Center Cable Dress pattern, found in Winter Whimsy. We've used Photoshop to adjust the dress color to a close representation of most of the Ariosa colors. I love this dress in Russet and Aquarius. What are your favorites?
The Yarn:
Ariosa 90% extrafine Merino, 10% cashmere Ariosa is a light and airy blend of extra fine merino and cashmere.  Extra fine merino has a low micron count. A fiber’s softness is determined by its diameter—the smaller the diameter—micron count—the softer it is against the skin. Extra fine merino also has a long staple, a feature that adds luster and allows Ariosa’s relaxed twist to resist pilling. While garments knit in chunky-weight Ariosa will keep you warm, they’re light and lofty to wear. Ariosa knits up between 3½ and 4 sts per inch. Even with its loose twist, Ariosa has great stitch definition. Ariosa is available in a palette of 15 colors that ranges from lovely neutrals to vibrant brights.
