Sunday Swatch – Polaris

Today’s Sunday Swatch is in Polaris, color 71009 Libra.

Sunday Swatch in PolarisPolaris is a champion of our Rozetti Yarns line.  It’s a lightweight yarn with a lovely, soft halo.  Sequins are spaced along its length, and I’m here to tell you that the sequins stay where they are.  This is a sturdy yarn.

Sunday Swatch was still in the car.  I was not.

Fearing the worst, I opened the door.

The yarn itself withstood being slammed in the car door and dragged across the driveway with absolutely no ill effects.  If a cat has nine lives, how many does this swatch have?

This stitch pattern is taken from the Snowflower Scarf pictured at right, a free three-ball pattern in Polaris on our website.  Pretty!

Polaris is a yarn that we love so much we’re adding new colors this Fall.  I look forward to using this yarn to make more projects – all tucked safely away from car doors.
