Most patterns we’ve seen for Trio 1 use it in combination with other yarns for a unique fiber blend. Hold Trio 1 with Merilin for Noriko Ichikawa’s “Everyday Round Vest,” aegyoknit’s “umma top,” or Natsuko Iida’s “Honoka.”
Pair it with Alpaca 1 for Helga Isager’s “Helga Cardigan,” “Lemon,” or “Field” sweaters.
I noticed several PetiteKnit “Cumulus Blouses” on Ravelry that mix Trio 1 and Silk Mohair for a fuzzy, drapey fabric – it would be a nice combination for Midori Hirose’s “Ranunculus,” too.
We can’t wait to see what else you come up with! Look for Trio 1 in the lace weight section here at HYS.
