I saw this little project on Instagram and really liked it: Lacy Braid Cowl. I am not a fan of dickies typically, but this seemed more cowl, less dickie! The pattern is only available on the One_Row website, but I was able to link my project to Ravelry (a link to the pattern is provided on her Ravelry pattern page).
The yarn was a bit of a surprise (Jody Long Rovesoft, color Stone). The label on the front said wool-alpaca blend but turn the label over and it was 45% acrylic! For what I paid, it seemed way over priced. Head to Webs to see if it is still half off. It’s done, so nothing I can do about it now!! I hope it is wearable!
PS to Pru: It is very soft. The only thing is the front wants to flip up a bit.
Well it’s very pretty. Always frustrating to find the fiber content you were promised was not as advertised. The same thing happened to me recently with a not inexpensive cardigan I bought from Nordstrom, a largely acrylic piece stacked on the cashmere table, but fortunately I noticed before I clipped off the tags and was able to return it. Wear your dickey with pride – unless it scratches.
