LoginIt’s only a matter of time before new spinners attempt to spin fine yarns. Not long after Melvenea Hodges began spinning cotton, she found an unusual cotton sliver at a fiber festival. She wondered, “Could I—should I—try to spin this luxurious fiber into a fine thread?”
Initially, Melvenea was tempted to pack the 300 yards of cotton laceweight away like countless other precious handspun skeins; but this yarn was so unique and rare that she sought out a project to use it right away. At first, She thought about crocheting some snowflake ornaments but decided the yarn’s handspun allure would get masked in the compact intertwinement of crochet stitches. That’s when she found this Clematis Lace knitting pattern.
Enjoy Melvenea’s spinning notes, along with instructions to knit your own Clematis Lace project, in this PDF download. Plus, learn why sizing the yarn before or after knitting can help combat wear and tear.
