Knitted tencel col Babette

Babette is knitted with tencel yarn, hand dyed from the thread shop. This was my first project with tencel yarn and it wears wonderfully. it has a nice sheen, which gives it a "luxurious" look. Tencel yarn has a beautiful sheen, feels almost silky and it 'falls' beautifully. Making this yarn requires less energy and water than cotton. As a plant fiber (it is made from eucalyptus trees), tencel is also biodegradable. Stitches used: Fair Isle knitting technique. Extensive digital pattern. The pattern is fully written out including photos, text, diagrams and links to youtube tutorials.
