Good stuff coming out of Wool and the Gang for summer, especially the Riviera Sweater up top, which is a really terrific combination of stripes and texture-blocking. Knitted in aran-weight cotton, this would be a great most-of-the-year sweater, most places. I’m also into the big-mesh Ariel Top, made from their Mixtape yarn, which seems to be a jersey ribbon tube sort of thing. Has anyone knitted with this stuff? It intrigues me.

I’ve knit with the mixtape yarn. It’s a bulky yarn which tends to hurt my hands to knit with but it does make a neat fabric.

Love the stripes!
I’ve knitted with similar looking stuff by Hoooked, it became heavy really quickly but I made a fun little handbag that can stand some wear and tear.
