Misplaced Scarf



Oops. I tried so hard to keep track of all my yarn labels but I still lost one. Hehe. You will all have to suffer with the lack of detailed info for this pattern :)

Yarn: It's a funky looking one that goes starts out skinny then fat, then skinny then fat, then skinny...get the idea?

Dye Lot: It's a shade of blue (haha. See what I mean!)

Using size US 35 needles, cast on total of 9 stitches. Garter stitch throughout. Bind off and weave in ends.

You seriously have size 35 needles? Rock on!

Fiber Fun Facts:

The yarn you used is called slub yarn - the thick bumpy parts are created because the yarn was not spun evenly. This used to be considered a defect in yarn, but now it is often done on purpose to create a unique texture. (This technique is also used in the homespun yarn you seem to like... you must just be a slub slut... ha ha)

It also looks like the yarn is a roving yarn - that means it is one loose strand of fiber, it's not split into little plies that are twisted together like you see in regular yarn. This is also called single-ply yarn.

There now. Even though you don't know the name of your yarn you at least know something about it! :)
