Knitted Temptation

Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting Knitting Temptations, a charming yarn shop located in Dublin, Ohio. While checking out, the owner, Karen, introduced me to an exquisite yarn I had never encountered before: Reywa yarn. This luxurious fiber, crafted from Yak wool, is so incredibly soft that it truly must be experienced firsthand. Karen shared that her shop was hosting a special event showcasing this remarkable yarn and asked if I would like to design a project for it. Oh my! Yes, please! Once my inner sensualist stopped purring from the sensation of the yarn, my creative brain went into overdrive. What could I make that would do this divine material justice?

She generously provided me with two skeins of Reywa Bloom in the natural colorway, a lace weight blend of yak and silk that exudes elegance and sophistication. Knowing that any creation using this sumptuous yarn would be best showcased around the neck and face—perhaps even draping beautifully over bare shoulders—I quickly settled on designing a stole. I envisioned something bridal and lacy, a stunning accessory perfect for special occasions.

With the prospect of working with such an extraordinary yarn, I wanted to ensure the entire knitting experience would feel almost spiritual, devoid of any interruptions or annoyances. My goal was to create a delicate and beautiful pattern that would not only highlight the luxurious properties of Reywa yarn but also provide a rewarding knitting experience. This stole would serve as a timeless piece, cherished by brides and knitters alike, and make a perfect addition to anyone’s accessory collection.

If you're looking to elevate your knitting projects with a touch of luxury, consider exploring the stunning possibilities with Reywa yarn. Stay tuned for the detailed pattern, perfect for knitters who appreciate both the art and soul of yarn.
