Try a dramatic Wingspan or Spectra shawl to show off the shifting colors in this yarn, or how about a light and lacy One Skein – A Stole?

Knit up a lightweight Gemini tee, or perhaps a dramatic Freesia shawl to toss on in a chilly office or restaurant.

Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool comes in 192 yard skeins for $10. You’ll need 3-5 skeins for Gemini or 4-5 skeins for Freesia.

But wait, there’s more! We were lucky enough to just get in a few copies of the re-release of Elsebeth Lavold Designer’s Choice Book One: The Viking Knits Collection – 13 classic patterns for women, men, and children all knit in Silky Wool.

A light and drapy Ljod cardigan is a great transitional piece to take you from the air conditioning of summer to the cool breezes of fall.
