Tolsta Tee: Birdie & Trio

Our friend, @margotchien, has done it again. We just love her version of Rebecca Clow's Tolsta Tee! What a gorgeous beachy and bright result knit in The Lamb & Kid Trio held with Dimond Laine Birdie in the colors Sweetie and Tattersall. Trio and Birdie held together make a wonderful fabric at the pattern gauge of 17 sts over 4".

Margot used equal amounts of the two colors, dividing her required yardage in half for each color in both yarns. She also transitioned from one color to the next with a color-shifting stripe sequence -- we'll put the details in a blog post, stay tuned!

You'll want to grab a copy of Rebecca's pattern from Ravelry and then calculate the yardage you need for your desired size. Choose your favorite color and go all in, or marl Trio in one shade with Birdie in the other, or colorblock, or stripe -- so many possibilities!

Please note: Birdie and Trio in Tattersall and Sweetie are dyed to order and will ship in approximately 10 business days.

The Lamb & Kid Trio:

Trio is our new custom-milled trifecta of merino, cashmere, and nylon. Trio is both hard working and delightful. Its merino content provides beautiful texture and memory, the cashmere brings a sumptuous hand, and the hint of nylon takes dye vibrantly and gives added structure in draping and durability. We adore Trio and we hope you will too! Trio is perfect for wardrobe staples from sweaters to accessories. Trio knows no bounds!
