There is a pattern for an easy knitted throw, an intermediate lacey knitted throw design and a pattern for a crocheted throw too. It comes in 8 colorful colorway combinations and includes the patterns for three different designs. In celebration of this season we are have an Autumn promotion that features our new Warm & Wooly Throw Trio kit. It's time to think about knitting and staying warm. The trees are turning yellow, the gardens have been harvested and we've had our first hard frost of the season. We here at Mountain Colors are enjoying the beautiful Fall weather. You can read my complete review disclosure here. My reviews are based entirely on my honest opinions.

Although I accept free products for review, I do not accept additional compensation from the distributor/manufacturer, nor do I guarantee a positive review. Now I just have to wait and see what that Logan Berry skein wants to become…įull disclosure: Two free samples of this product was provided by Mountain Colors. It’s beautiful but also has enough yardage for you to make a nice project (such as my shawlette) with one skein. Overall, I would recommend Twizzle as an excellent luxury yarn. Mountain Colors also has 8 Twizzle patterns available where the yarn is sold, including the Twizzle Beanie (a one skein project) and the Back to Basics Pullover, which are also available online. If you want to try out some Twizzle for yourself, you can find the list of shops carrying it here. Admittedly, I tend to have a tight tension, but even Ravelry calls this a worsted weight yarn. I think I would probably use a size 9 (5.5 mm) for knitting a hat or scarf. The Mountain Colors website recommends size 4-6 (3.5-4 mm) needles, but I used size 11 (8 mm) needles. So much so that neither my sister nor mother realized it was a different color on the edge.Įach hank is a healthy size – 100 grams and approximately 250 yards. Surprisingly, the two colors combined beautifully. I didn’t want to rip back (after all, who wants to redo that last row of the shawl, the one with tons of stitches, again?), so I decided to try out the Logan Berry for the bind off. In my haste (and because I was watching a very dramatic television show at the same time), I didn’t leave enough Swift Current to bind off with. Soon, a lovely shawlette was flying off the needles. According to the website, it’s the “wool yarn plied with a strand of silk that creates a heathered effect.” The colors are great and I love the tweedy look. Twizzle has a great feel, and unlike many soft yarns, it didn’t seem too loosely spun. Through all the ripping back and re-casting on, the yarn kept its shape and didn’t pill or split. I cast on about 10 times, experimenting with different needles and stitch patterns until I could find the right tension and a stitch pattern simple enough to showcase the yarn but interesting enough to keep me from napping. Since it was so close to the holidays, I decided to try the yarn out by making a holiday gift – a crescent shawlette for my sister.

I’m happy to say that both skeins wound up quickly and there were no tangles or knots in the yarn. It didn’t seem right to review a yarn without actually trying it out, so my first step was to wind the yarn. Swift Current, on the right, includes dark navy blues with deep purple, pink and green. According to the Mountain Colors website, Logan Berry, on the left, is a “20 Year Vintage Color” and includes reds, tangerine, and purple. The beautiful colors, which unfortunately, are not perfectly captured in this picture, are hand painted. Twizzle is very soft – a fiber content of 85% Merino wool and 15% silk will do that. I loved the look of this yarn so much that I had to snap a picture right away in the post office. Back in November, the folks at Mountain Colors Yarns sent me these two hanks of a new-to-me yarn, Twizzle, to play with.
