It's a beautiful yarn and is knitting up nicely. I should have paid more attention to the ball band, which says it knits to a gauge of 20-22 sts to the inch. Instead, I was distracted by its labeling as a DK weight, which is what my pattern calls for. But my pattern figures a gauge of 23 sts to the inch, and Scout is knitting up at 21 sts to the inch, exactly as promised. Lots of math is ensuing, as I adjust the pattern for this yarn!

Scout yarn
Love the depth of color and the comforting “hand” of this yarn. I will be using for Arne and Carlos Christmas stockings to welcome two new additions to the family.
