A couple of days ago, my
Ravelry pattern feed showed me a stunning lace weight waterfall shaped open cardigan that I just had to purchase.
Soubrette looks simple with an unusual construction but stunning once completed. I have a stash of single skeins of lace weight yarn but this needs 2 skeins. How to solve this dilemma? There was only one thing to do - out came the dyes and pots! I haven't been able to turn my hand to dyeing for the last 8 months so I was a little worried I'd have lost my touch. It seems I was wrong!
I've chosen a merino/bamboo blend for my cardigan and wanted something that reflected the changing autumnal leaves as summer fades to autumn. I think I've captured that with several passes through yellow, grey, brown and red dye baths!
The pattern is discounted by 40% for the next couple of days so pop over to Ravelry and grab it now!
