Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have knitted items with that same comfortable well-worn feeling as an old pair of jeans? You can! Kollage Riveting yarn is made from recycled blue jeans (80% post-consumer content) and it feels amazing!! Right now, we carry the DK weight in night denim, lava denim, forest denim, sand denim, and pebble denim. You have to see and feel this yarn to believe it!
Kollage also sells the pattern “My Kind of Saturday” which is a one skein lacy cowl. So, of course, I had to make one. And it is just luscious. We have had customers pick up the cowl and ask if it is silk! No, it’s not silk. In fact, after I was done with it, I machine washed and dried it! The pattern is well written with the lace pattern both written and charted. (And, it doesn’t use the whole skein, although it does use more than half, so you can’t quite get two cowls from one skein.)
Kollage is very clear that you need to swatch and block your swatch before you start your project. Riveting is easy to care for once it’s knit up, but the row gauge tends to shrink on blocking so you have to take that into account before you start your project.
Stop in and check out this yarn soon! We also have several more patterns from Kollage written specifically for this yarn. We look forward to seeing you!!
