- Jenny Layers Silk Cloud
The groundhog has come and gone, and, while the February sun has occasionally crept out, it's still chilly here in Portland. I am so very ready for spring, but my wardrobe is still about wooly layers. This ethereal layering piece is a perfect solution for the winter wardrobe blahs...it looks fresh, but is still cozy and warm!
The pattern, No. 2 in the Shibui Mix series, is a simple tunic, knit in one piece from the bottom up, with Silk Cloud held double. There is a subtle striping pattern that keeps the knitting process fun, and the high content of silk in Silk Cloud keeps the itch factor away. A false side seam, and integral sleeves with a slight dolman make for minimal finishing; weave in the ends, block, and layer away!
We made this sample in wardrobe basic colors: Ash and Ivory, but I've been having swatch fun combining Rust with Watermelon and Suit with Abyss. Go light, go bright, go dark; you have so many options when you mix up yarns with Shibui!
