In preparation for the CA Wool & Fiber Festival, I dyed a bunch of fiber, which I’ll be posting about and adding to the store sometime soon. I also dyed some linen yarn, and designed a pattern for it. The yarn is called Fiber Fiend Linen and the pattern is called the Practice Stole Hand Towel! The towel is knit like a stole, starting with one edging, then picking up stitches for the body, then finishing with the second edging. It’s perfect for someone who isn’t quite ready to knit a stole, but wants to practice knitting some lace. It’s also a great gift. In order to make a stole, you could just widen and lengthen the towel.

Here it is in its native environment…

Here are some pictures of the Roberts Creek colorway used in the sample Practice Stole Hand Towel.

And here is the Stormy Weather colorway.
