At a Canberra craft fair last week, I purchased a couple of hanks of a variegated yarn 60% cotton, 40% viscose in wonderful colours. It's called Vittoria, from Filatura di Crosa in Italy, each hank has about 1,400 metres, and the thread thickness is about equivalent to Bockens 40/2 (22 wpc). It has a lovely silky look to it.
I'd like to make a deep Torchon edge around a square of linen. Question is, what sort of patterns best suit variegated yarn? Cloth stitch or half stitch diamonds/trails? Big or little spiders? I would think it would have to be very simple, a "busy" pattern would be lost in variegated. Anyone got any experience in this?
