Ruth Cutting will bring the wonders of entrelac to our meeting. Ruth suggests a skein of self-striping yarn with long color runs; something like Noro’s Silk Garden or Plymouth’s Gina. DK or worsted weight would be the easiest to work with. And of course, bring needles in an appropriate size for the yarn.
