I love a good one skein project. And we get many requests at the yarn shop for one skein, worsted weight projects. These designs have simple lace and cables to show off the beautiful stitch definition of this intriguing yarn. These design elements are especially lovely when using tonal, hand-dyed yarn. The hat pattern makes an easy, slouchy hat, while the cowl is a no-fuss, but warm addition to your fall/winter wardrobe.
