Sparkle with Arme

I fell in love with the new Arme metallic yarn from Laines du Nord and needed a project to showcase its beauty. I knit 2 pieces, one combining Arme with Soffio, an Aran weight

Cashmere/Wool blend, and one combining Arme with Colorissimo, a DK weight Ultrafine Merino.


I’m so happy with how both pieces turned out! Download the Sparkle Ridge Shawlette pattern and create some sparkle!
