Tahki Cotton Classic Lite Yarn
So, for the Ruffle Sleeve Pullover, Interweave sent me Tahki Cotton Classic Lite in #4447 (Light Mauve). This is a sport weight (#3) yarn, approximately 6 st/inch.
I had originally created the pattern with GGH Scarlett. Both yarns are 100% mercerized cotton; both have a lovely sheen and lend themselves to elegant knitwear. And both offer good structure and drape once the garment is underway. Tahki Cotton Classic Lite comes in wonderful colors - it's like a candy shop of possibilities.
I enjoyed working with the Cotton Classic Lite. It is comfortable to knit, does not fall apart, and looks smooth in stockinette stitch. I also did not find knots or other bothersome features in the skeins.
For the Ruffle Sleeve Pullover pattern, check out the Premier issue of knit.wear magazine, available for order through Interweave.com or in bookstores.
