Yarn Information
2025 marks Silk Blend's 18th anniversary - a heritage Manos yarn that is a staple in every maker's repertoire.
We've reduced the total number of colors and updated the palette by introducing 9 new semi-solid shades and 2 new space-dyed shades: this perennial favorite now has a more cohesive range of colors to choose from.
Soft and shiny, Silk Blend gives good stitch definition to cables and other texture patterns. Its jewel-like colors work beautifully in stranded colorwork designs. -

LOVE this pattern! Have already made 2 and thinking about trying it as the start of a top down pullover. An idea for a new pattern!
Haven't started knitting yet but I love the pattern, very clear to follow
I decided to go with Wisp of Warmth over other patterns because I liked the edges and the fact that I could make it as wide or long as I wanted. The instructions are clear even for a novice. The wyif got me at first, but when I took it row by row, all became apparent with the result of a lovely edge. I used a fine wool yarn & it is very warm even though it is narrow and a single time around my neck. Highly recommend it. Great use of stash. Thanks for free pattern.
I love the final result with this pattern... a warm and attractive poncho-like effect.i used a changing color wool so it has a lovely three color play between the colors. The knitting isn't was not terribly interesting or difficult so that wirings for beginners.
