I’m playing with Modern Daily Knitting’s Atlas, a worsted weight 3 ply Rambouillet. It’s bouncy and round and fun. The spin and ply aren’t particularly tight, which makes this a bit fluffy! It’s described as a light worsted weight so I thought it would feel thinner while knitting, but it feels substantial and squishy at the same time. Not quite as soft as merino, but nice and wooly.

I need some new Brioche Pastiche samples, so what better way to test drive a new-to-me yarn? I’m loving it so far.
Atlas is USA grown and raised. I don’t see the words superwash anywhere, so I’m guessing it would also felt/full nicely. But I’m not about to try that with my brioche hat! Maybe something for a swatch later.
I have so much knitting and related work to do before VKLiveNYC next week! So I’ll be over here, knitting and writing and packing and…

I wanted to buy some when it first came out. The laundry instructions are nowhere in the product description and I’m not spending (at that time) $16 for a skein to give to someone else without knowing if it’s superwash. I wrote to MDK and asked and was told that “of course all handknits should be hand washed.” I ended up buying something else from someone else.
Interesting. I always hand wash my knits, superwash or not, so I didn’t really think about that. But I’m guessing if it doesn’t say superwash, it’s not.
