I was lucky to receive as a gift several balls of yarn. They were bought in Lighthouse Yarns, a shop in the Bank House, Whitehead. The balls are part of the Vintage Collection, which come in different weights and have been reloved from local woollen mills and are absolutely gorgeous...
For my first project I used the 4 ply white slub yarn and combined it with a black 4 ply yarn and a silver thread for a bit of sparkle. I used the free pattern from Purl Soho - Fisherman's Rib Scarf, available here.
I love this pattern and have used it before as it doesn't need blocking and the rib makes the scarf springy and cosy. Using 8mm needles the scarf knit up in no time.
Now thinking of other unique projects to use up rest of the vintage yarn.
Till next time, Ali
