STARLIGHT on Twinkle Sock

Imagine camping out under the stars atop a high mountain in summer time. You glance up at the sky and are overtaken by the beauty and wonder of the dark blue sky filled to bursting with starlight. That was the inspiration for this colorway.

I dyed it using an Ikat method, which means that there are short stripes of very light blue on the dark navy background. If you knit with this yarn, you'll get one or two stitches of light blue amid the darker background, and it looks a bit like stars.

YARN BASE
I dyed this on Twinkle Sock, which is made of 90% superwash merino and 10% sparkly lurex. It's a lovely base for shawls and cowls and hats.

YARN SWATCH
I have included a photo of a swatch I knit in this colorway using Buttery Soft DK. It should give you an idea of how the colorway will work up. I also included a photo of Sparktacular by Chic and Regal Knits. She used this yarn to knit her sample. The pattern can be found right here.
