Hi ladies!
I inherited about 7 or 8 skeins of Reynolds Lopi yarn, but they are not all the same color. They will coordinate, as they are shades of brown, tan, etc. Do any of you have a simple pattern of some sort that I could use for this yarn? I don't think there is enough for anything big like a sweater, but maybe a vest or scarf?
Thanks! Luanne

Have a good weekend!

Hi Grace -
I dug out the bag of Lopi this weekend. The wrappers say "The Original Lopi" and it is a chunky-type yarn in small balls. I have 6 balls of a chocolate brown, 5 balls of a oatmeal-type color and 2 balls of a cream color.
Any suggestions you have of what I can do with it would be wonderful.
Thanks! Luanne

Does anyone have suggestions of what I can do with this yarn? I've never knit with chunky yarn before, but I would like to use it for something.
Thanks! Luanne

Reynolds Lopi is a chunky weight yarn that comes in small oval balls. I had a bunch of it given to me, and I'm trying to figure out something to do with it!
Thanks! Luanne

Thanks Grace -
I'm leaving in the AM on a mini vacation, so probably won't be able to get back to you until next week.
Happy Easter!

Hi Grace -
I took a quick look when I got home. The skeins say:
100 grams, approx. 110 yards. Needle #10-1/2 in St. st 3-1/4 sts and 4-1/2 rows = 1" (2.5cm) or Needle #10 in St. st. 3-1/2 sts and 5 rows = 1" (2.5cm)
Hope this makes sense to you!
I'll be out of touch until next Tuesday unless I can get wifi somewhere along the road.
Thanks! Luanne
