If you've never used self-striping yarn, this is the one to try. Ambiente is a 100% superwash merino sock yarn, sport weight (no size 0 needles necessary!), comes in fun, unique colors, and is so versatile. Socks certainly, but Ambiente is perfect for baby hats, lightweight cardigans, and of course, our own PenDragon Gauntlets.

Wonderful fun colors and oh, such nice
elasticity. I made one-size fingerless mitts and plan more in this pretty and practical yarn.
I knit a lovely pair of finger-less mitts with lots of fun stripes. This yarn also makes wonderful and unique baby hats.
I love this yarn for things I knit that are tubular because the striping is pleasing, though if you want socks to match, maybe consider another yarn. The striping isn't predictable. It's soft and wears well, too. I've knit with several colorways, and all have knit up beautifully.
Primarily all of the Yarnery top grade yarns ordered are used to knit hats given to hospitals and friends being treated for cancer.
April is here, so the Yarnery's Handknit Cotton is turning out wonderful summer weight hats in beach colors. Feedback is that when the hats go on, there are big smiles and laughter. Gives all "a day at the beach".
