Show and tell: summer stitching.

Time for another round of show and tell! As summer comes to a close, let’s look at projects knit with cool plant fibers, like cotton, linen, and viscose.

Liz knit this “Crumpet Cardigan” with Cascade Ultra Pima, a DK weight mercerized cotton with sharp stitch definition and a bit of shine. Pattern by Park Williams.

Katherine’s been knitting with Cascade Ultra Pima, too – here’s her “SABAI Top,” a popular tank designed by Susanne Müller.

Cascade makes many of our favorite cotton yarns – here’s a project that shows off another!

Teresa knit this lacy little “Petaluma Kerchief” with Cascade Botanika. This sport weight organic cotton is smooth and soft, dyed with natural pigments. Pattern by Bobbi IntVeld.

Michele came in recently wearing her “Musling Tee,” a popular pattern knit with an even more popular yarn – Sandnes Garn Line. Love it in this summery shade of green! Pattern by Lene Holme Samsøe.

Above is Margaretta’s “Lacey Loop Tee,” designed by Other Loops. She knit it with Isager Bomulin and Merilin held together for a perfect blend of plant and animal fibers.

Thanks to everyone who begins their projects with a trip to the Hillsborough Yarn Shop! We love seeing what you make.
