We've been selling all colors of Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece for some time now, but until recently they'd all been special order. The yarn has done so well that we decided to pick the top 20 colors (for now!) and sell them in the shop as stock colors.
I had never worked with this yarn before, and I really wanted to try it. I decided
to start (and hopefully finish) a vest for this fall. Unfortunately, I'm at the age where my temperature can spike - without warning! - and so I thought the cotton blend would be ideal. I had just ordered a great new pattern for the shop,
iMagine Knit Designs Falling Water Ruffle Vest, and the gauge is perfect for Cotton Fleece.
I love the way this yarn is knitting up!

My daughter heads off to her first year of college next month and I promised
to weave a blanket for her dorm bed. After knitting with the Cotton Fleece I decided that it's the perfect yarn for this project. It's exactly the weight she wanted, and she loved the feel of it. Here is a very small swatch that I used to test my sett. A "sett" is a gauge swatch for weavers. (We have to swatch too!)
