This was a fun yarn to use and an equally fun pattern to crochet it in. I like the various colors, and I can see a gorgeous shawl made from it. It would also looke good as a carry along with something else.

This was fun to use. It is several strands of beautifully colored linen and cotton, which is nice and soft. It looks great crocheted up in this little pattern from The New Granny Square. That's a great book, too. Definitely worth checking out.

Wake Up, Maggi


Maggi Knits: MK Collection
Fiber Content: 70% Cotton, 30% Rayon
50g = 93 yds,
Gauge: 5 sts. per in. on needle size US 8
My Color: 11
My Source: The Knit Stop, Indianapolis, IN

This is an interesting yarn. It is a slub yarn, which actually feels more rayon than it does cotton. I did my rendition of one of Maggi Jackson's famous tubes in the swatch. It would make a nice summer sweater.
