Web-Letter, Issue 128 – Curvy Soft Linen Cardi in Color

The daylight hours are gradually getting longer and I’m ready—ready to stop wearing winter boots and mittens, ready to open the windows, ready for sunshine, ready for spring. Spring is a time for renewal and new beginnings and of course, new knitting projects. To inspire your warm weather knitting, all of our new spring/summer patterns and yarns are up on our website, with loads of new designs to tempt you to cast on a new project.

The Drapey Front Cardigan from Curvy Knits Park Street below is a great tran-seasonal design. Easy to knit and to wear, it has minimal finishing—just sew the seams (no picking up sts along edges) and you’re done! Although photographed in size extra large, it’s a great silhouette for all sizes, and the pattern is written for two smaller sizes (as well as two larger sizes) than the sweater pictured. Through the magic of Photoshop, you can see it here in many colors of Soft Linen. Check out our other new designs in Soft Linen in Farmer's Market.

The Yarn:


Soft Linen
35% linen, 35% wool, 30% baby alpaca

Soft Linen is a blend of alpaca, wool and linen that combine to make a yarn, which is both soft and sturdy. Pieces worked in Soft Linen will hold their shape, while remaining soft to the touch. Knitting up at a gauge of 5½ sts per inch with the combination of wool and linen, make Soft Linen a wonderful yarn for transitional weather garments. The 19 refined, yet robust colors of the Soft Linen color palette offer great options for all seasons.
