I love this pattern from the upcoming issue of Interweave Knits! Just one problem – I can not seem to locate the yarn. Am I losing it? Have I lost my mojo?
Yarn Reynolds Soft Linen (53% linen, 47% acrylic; 94 yd [85 m]/50 g): #413 brown, 11 (12, 14, 17, 19) balls. Yarn distributed by JCA.
I’m thinking after Wicked and the Lace Leaf Pullover this will be my next big knit if only I can find the yarn! Help!

It’s gorgeous. Not many patterns in the upcoming issue excite me, but this cardigan is just beautiful.
You are, however, not the only person who can’t find the yarn. I think I read several posts on knitty complaining that the yarn is not to be had anywhere they looked. Maybe it’s a new yarn they’re coming out with for this spring/summer season? I remember seeing a pattern in a knitting mag and desperately looking for the yarn, only to be told it’s brand new and not yet available.
Talk about driving a girl crazy!

That cardigan is definitely very flattering. I haven’t searched at all for the yarn, but it sounds like it’ll be selling out as soon as it’s added to the shelves. Love your blog!

Probably, coming out for the spring/summer. Ask your lys, they’ll probably know. They have a working relationship with JCA, I’m sure. Choose a similar linen yarn?
Good Luck

Very cute – I can’t find the yarn either.

What a way to promo a yarn! I bet it’s going to sell like hotcakes! I love that sweater as well. I’m very excited about this Interweave Knits. Now, to start knitting sweaters…

I saw “Soft Linen” by Reynolods in the catalogs for both Patternworks and Webs. There pics in the worsted section.
