Does anyone have any experience working with these two yarns?
Karabella Frost
Dalegarn Svale
I'm trying to decide between them for a Honeymoon Cami. Intuitively, the cotton-based Svale seems more appropriate for a summer garment, but the Frost is so uber luxurious it's hard to resist and perhaps the silk and viscose will balance it out the cashmere re: coolness. If you have ideas about this, or other reviews of either yarn, please share!
Posted by jess at February 21, 2005 10:41 AM | TrackBackI made my honeymoon cami out of Svale and I really like it! It is very soft and comfortable to wear in the heat, but I know some people who have also used this yarn found it to be a little too stretchy. I'm long in the waist, so I don't mind stretch, and I didn't notice it anyhow. But thats the word on the street about Svale for the Honeymoon.

Posted by: andrea at February 21, 2005 12:01 PMjust passing through and saw your topic. i have 10 balls of karabella frost. i haven't used them as of yet so, i can't comment on how it is to work with. from a sight and feel standpoint, the yarn is very pretty and is relatively soft to the touch but, it has enough stiffness where i believe the garment will hold it's shape nicely.
as an fyi...i'm not sure where you are planning to purchase the yarn -- should you decide to use it. however, i orginally was going to purchase from flying fingers but, found a deal at WEBS (www.yarn.com). 10 balls for $59.99. if you use the karabella, let us know what you think.
good luck.
