I grabbed some Sora as soon as it came in, and it’s already on my needles. Here’s what I’ve got so far.
That’s the start of Cliffhanger by Heidi Kirrmaier. You start with the textured collar, which is a fun change from the way most sweaters begin. I wanted to give you a look at the yarn in an actual project, even if mine is still very much in progress.
Sora is the new light worsted yarn from Quince & Co., and the thing that makes it a little different is the nettle. It’s a single ply made with 85% wool and 15% nettle fiber. The wool brings softness and warmth, and the nettle adds strength. The colors have a softly heathered look and just a hint of sheen. Each 50-gram skein has 92 yards.
If you’re tempted to try Sora for Cliffhanger too, swatch in the round to check your gauge. Or take a look at the colors and see if one reminds you of a pattern you’ve been saving.
Happy stitching,
Jennifer
