Hand Painted River
Rayon Seed
Add dramatic texture, sheen
and drape to your next weaving or knitting project with River.
This hand
painted 100% rayon seed yarn is one that I once painted and brought out
of retirement by popular demand as there is no other yarn quite like it.
River is a little
slippery but the seeds help hold it in place in many structures
especially in semi-knotted knitted structures or garter stitch
as shown below in the
Spiral Nebula Shawl designed and knitted
by Jackie E-S of HeartStrings FiberArts. Plan to wind by
hand and control with a yarn bra or stocking foot. A
bamboo or wooden needle also helps although I find my Denise
needles work just fine.
This yarn would be a
great complement to HeartStrings
Easy Asymmetry
Wrap or
Troika Wrap-Around Shawl shown below. Each require three yarns of different textures and
sheen. Select from the following laceweight yarns to go
with River rayon seed:
River rayon seed is an
excellent weft yarn and will add texture, drape and sheen with a 100%
cotton warp like
Premier 5/2.
See
chart below for weft requirements.
Put-up is on an 800
yd. 8 oz. skein (1600 YPP) and priced at $35/skein. One
skein is ample for an 18"
