Never heard of illusion knitting? Read on to learn all about this fun and super-accessible technique! | | If illusion knitting is new to you, have no fear, it's just another way of combining flat stockinette stitch and raised garter stitching using 2 colors of high-contrast yarn. As you can see, the columns alternate between lengths of nubby garter stitch and smooth, knit/purl stockinette stitch, which gives them the illusion of movement when viewed from different angles. It gives a whole new meaning to the magic of knitting! For maximum color impact, we used 2 skeins of color-shifting Cumulus Rainbow paired with 2 skeins of solid-colored Cumulus, and the result is bright and beautiful, with such a unique twist on traditional stripes! | | As their name implies, Cumulus yarns have a cloud-like plushness, making them an ideal choice for baby knits! Cumulus and Cumulus Rainbow are quick-knitting, worsted-weight yarns that blend buttery soft cotton with a touch of nylon for strength and structure. Cumulus Rainbow is the fun, rainbow-hued variation of the bunch. The color progression of these shades will make you want to keep knitting to see the colors unfurl! We've chosen a palette of solid, classic neutral shades in Cumulus that are ideal for pairing with the more colorful Cumulus Rainbow shades. | | For your convenience, we've assembled a Striped Surprise Blanket Kit in the same colorway we used. You can also create your own yarn color pairing! You'll need: | | We'll be closed on Tuesday, July 4th, for Independence Day! We hope you have a fun day with family and friends. Otherwise, we'll be open during our regular hours throughout the weekend!
