We love our new Lacey Loop Tee by Other Loops sample in the shop! Knit up in Trio DK in the color Lilla, it’s absolutely stunning. Just check out our Ashley on Instagram looking so summery and effortless on the beach with her dog Gracie! We are offering kits in all of our dyed-to-order colors for this sweater in Trio DK.
Though the pattern calls for a Fingering weight yarn, we knit ours out of DK. Our sample knitter started with Trio in the Fingering weight and determined that the fabric was too open and loose at the recommended gauge, and did not show off the lace to the best advantage. While this is not to say that you couldn’t get a gorgeous result with a fingering-weight yarn, like say, Elmer Fingering, for this particular yarn, the DK weight gave the best result. As always, we encourage you to swatch.
We suspect, and are in the process of knitting up a swatch, that Elmer Fingering would work very well at this gauge. Elmer’s ability to plump upon blocking thanks to its fiber content and woolen-spun nature might be just the thing to give this open, lacey fabric some structure. Elmer Fingering is also in this weekend's dyed-to-order!

Trio DK
DK, 275 yds / 100 g
70% Merino, 20% Cashmere, 10% Nylon
Trio DK is everything you love about our fingering-weight Trio, in a DK-weight custom-milled trifecta of 70% merino, 20% cashmere, and 10% nylon. It's a smoothly worsted spun, hard-working yarn that takes the dye beautifully, giving every color an extra glow-up! Trio DK's merino content provides beautiful texture and memory, the cashmere brings a sumptuous hand, and the hint of nylon adds structure in draping and durability. We adore this yarn for sweaters and accessories alike!
