No Wool Wednesday: Sugar Cane Yarn

(This post has been hanging out for awhile and I just hadn't finished it.  I am getting back into the swing of things and so I finished it for your enjoyment....)

I found sugar cane yarn by mistake.  I was in Lizzie's in Wheaton, IL while playing hooky from work.  (Okay, not really, I took a vacation day.)  While wandering in the yarn shop trying not to kill myself, I happened upon Araucania Ruca Multy.   

I was pleasantly surprised to find that Araucania Ruca Multy was make with 100% sugar cane and even more surprised to find 273 yards in one hank.  I bought one hank of colorway 1 (I know not very helpful).  It was a purple, tan and green variegated.

With the yarn, I decided to make Diagonal Lace Scarf.

The yarn was great to work with.  It is super soft and has beautiful drape.  It was super easy to block; the knitted fabric gently stretched into shape.

I would definitely recommend this yarn to someone looking for something new.  The only downside to this yarn is that I haven't been able to find it in solids or semi-solids. 

Other patterns that would work with this pattern:

 - Clapotis
 - Ishbel
 - Lillian Tank Top
 - Baby Surprise Jacket

Check in next week for another No Wool Wednesday!
