This is the cowl I talked about here. It uses Roll the Dice yarn from Sin City Yarns. I bought it at Sin City Knit Shop in Las Vegas. The yarn is 100% merino, and has a little bit of a sheen. It is dyed so that one end of the skein has whites and blues, and just a little purple while the other end is all purple; in between it graduates from the blue end to the purple end.
The pattern is for a cowl, and it was free from the yarn shop. It is designed to use with this yarn. As you knit the cowl, the color changes from one end to the other. Also, even though it is a 4 knit / 4 purl pattern, the base rowl is set up so that the knit ridges travel around the cowl in a spiral. Very cool.
I used one complete skein of yarn with a size 7 needle. The picture is of the project prior to washing and blocking.
