Plus, new Fave Sock colorways! | KUSCHELIG IN FIBERSTORY FAVE SOCK | | | Our Fiberstory Fave Sock yarn displays are so cheerfully colorful, customers are often drawn right to them as soon as they enter our shops! Today we're spotlighting a new Fiberstory Fave Sock trunk show of color-forward accessories and one of the show's most customizable pieces is the Kuschelig Shawl! | | | Kuschelig is German for "cozy" or "soft and cuddly" and it's exactly what this wrap is all about! This generously sized, rectangular shawl is designed to be flexibly wrapped around your neck or draped around your shoulders for warmth. And because it's a garter stitch, modular knitting design, it's a great project for adventuresome beginning knitters who are eager to expand their basic knitting skills! | | Kuschelig is knit in Fiberstory Fave Sock, a wonderful fingering weight yarn that we stock at Loop in Center City, Loop West in Newtown Square and in our online shop.
Fiberstory Fave Sock is easy care, 100% superwash merino with a soft, 2-ply construction that has a tight, springy twist for crisp stitch definition. Not only is it the perfect yarn for this Kuschelig shawl, it's also ideal for knitting your favorite pair of everyday socks, gorgeous hats and other accessories.
And the colors are nothing short of inspiring! Hand-dyed in Michigan, Fave Sock comes in a kaleidoscope of lush, semi-solid and multi-colored shades (and in Gradient Sets!). We just added 11 new Fave Sock colorways to our lineup and you'll love how Fave Sock offers plenty of options for beautifully coordinating multiple colorways! | | | This Kuschelig sample is knit using 5 colors of Fiberstory Fave Sock. Sarah, Fiberstory's head dyer, used Toffee, Pinch, Barely, Fog + Fir for her sample. Kuschelig is knit entirely in bouncy garter stitch and the pattern contains fully written instructions (no charts). Because it's a modular knitting pattern, you'll start with one triangle and build from there. Our sample started with the dark gray triangle, then the second block is the peach and the third block is the light gray, and so on. If you've never tried modular knitting, no worries, the pattern contains instruction and photos to help you understand the process of picking up stitches.
The pattern lists 4 size options -- our sample is Size 2: - Size 1: 20” x 65”
- Size 2: 22” x 72”
- Size 3: 24” x 79”
- Size 4: 26” x 86”
To knit your own size 2 Kuschelig you'll need: | | One of the best aspects of Kuschelig is that you can customize your own Fave Sock color story! You'll need 1 skein each of 5 colors -- as we mentioned earlier, Fave Sock is dyed to make color coordinating easy so you're sure to have fun putting together a palette that is perfectly you!
In addition to the colors used in the sample shawl (top photo) in Toffee, Pinch, Barely, Fog + Fir, here are two additional sets we've put together for your consideration: Kuschelig is currently on display at our Center City shop.
