I just finished blocking our Groovy made with Noro Silk Garden Sock Solo. The yarn is deceptively puffy, and we accidentally used the wrong needle size (3.5mm/US4) and it came out a bit too tight for my liking. You can go up a size or two, to 3.75mm or 4mm needles (US5 or 6) and it'll worked great! The pattern was simple, not at all complex, well written and easy to follow. You can make your wrap/scarf deeper without doing math. The yarn is pretty, slightly tweedy, a slightly textured single ply. I tried blocking with both Soak and Eucalan and preferrred the Eucalan for this yarn - it makes it soft and pouffs it up. The garment is very flexible, it can be worn as a scarf, wrap or shawl, a great accessory for any wardrobe!
You'll Need:
- 2 skeins Noro Silk Garden Sock Solo (colour 9)
- 3.75mm/US5 or 4mm/US6 - 29" circular needles
- Row counter
- Pattern
- Eucalan (optional, for blocking)
