Lotus Yarns Late Autumn knitting yarn with cashmere, 50 g

Lotus Yarns Late Autumn – knitting yarn in wool, Tencel, viscose and cashmere

Late Autumn by Lotus Yarns is a knitting yarn made from 46% wool (Fine Wool), 38% Tencel, 10% viscose and 6% cashmere. It suits light, softly draping knitted and crocheted pieces that you can wear all year round. The wool adds warmth, Tencel and viscose make the yarn supple and smooth, and the cashmere gives it a soft handle. Choose your colour from the options.

Each ball weighs 50 g and has a length of 360 m. That works out at 720 m per 100 g, which is a fine yarn weight. This helps with planning quantities: for shawls, tops or jumpers you will usually need several balls. How many depends on the pattern and the size.

Working with Late Autumn

On needles of 2.25–3.25 mm (US 1–3) you knit a dense, fine fabric. The yarn can also be used as a carry-along yarn, held together with a second strand. The result is then thicker and the colours blend. What matters is the tension given in your pattern; the figure on the ball band is only a guide. If you need several balls for a project, buy them from the same dye lot where possible so that the colour stays even.

Care

According to the manufacturer, hand wash Late Autumn in cold water and dry it flat. This helps the fibres keep their shape, and your knitted pieces won't sag.
