Margaret from French Market Fibers gifted me a 383 yard "test" skein of MCN (merino, cashmere & nylon -- I had to look that up myself once) and it has been made up into a lusciously soft cowl.
the pattern is
Variance, by Lisa Mutch of Northbound Knitting
The yarn is quite soft; I was slightly surprised :) and then realized I usually knit with much tighter twist yarn that produces a "denser" fabric. This turn out perfect, however, as the cowl is super soft against my neck. I added 15 extra stitches between the sections to make it a tad bit longer, so I can wear it doubled or even wrap it up at my chin level 3 times. I'm wearing it now! Thanks so much, Margaret!
