Tracery

After two days of browsing Ravelry and yarn sites, I’m still looking for the perfect contrast yarn for Tracery vest. I’m debating between the new colourway from Wool addicts (available in my LYS) and another colourway from Ancient Arts, an indie dyer based in AB. For the former I can see and choose in person but the colourway of latter is just too beautiful to resist!! Ughh the more I dig into it, the more I’m felling myself into a rabbit hole.

Some useful articles and techniques I’m planning to use (wish I did these research before I bought the hand dyed yarn in TB!):

• How to avoid colour pooling: Working With Irregular + Hand Dyed Yarns: Avoiding Pooling
• YT tutorials when putting it to action (avoid “scars” st on the back): Knitting: Alternating skeins every row in the round when knitting with hand dyed yarn - YouTube
