Sol Degrade

sol degradeSpring is such a great time to knit up some lighty, airy knits that will get you through a Virginia summer. Sol Degrade is a beautiful tape yarn with a great, lightweight feel that won’t weight you down as the temperature rises.  With 218 yards in each $21 skein, Sol Degrade has wonderful colors laid out in a self striping pattern.  Perfect for accessories and layering garments, grab a couple skeins for some summery knits!

Pattern Inspiration:

Sol Degrade’s wonderful colors will remind you of the warmer weather on it’s way (hopefully).  With it’s fun color changes, this self striping yarn is perfect for something simple, like a Sol Delgrade Dropped-Stitch Infinity Scarf.

We’ve knit Zuzu’s Petals before in Friea Refined Worsted but who doesn’t want one for summer?  One skein of Sol Degrade would work up into a beautiful cowlette for warmer weather!

With yarn this light and airy, a gorgeous cardigan would be perfect!  I’m loving the idea of Brooke, especially with the combination of the the yarn’s stripes and the pattern’s construction.

Sometimes, when you’re working with a yarn that does it’s own pattern, it’s nice to use a pattern that is just nice and simple to let the color shine.  I’m loving idea of crocheting up an apfel strudel.
