The pattern itself is well written and easy to follow. With hindsight I think my choice of yarn was a mistake. I found it varies a great deal in the thickness, very thin almost single strand in places then thick multi stranded/nobbly in others. This thickening and thinning seemed very random. I found also that it splits very easily. This a cotton linen viscose mix. It dosent seeem to have any stretch at all a bit string like. Allthough I bought the yardage suggested in the pattern and my tension worked out, I find that I have almost two balls left over. The finished weave looks loose and uneven. Blocking dosent seem to have helped as it seems to have gone quite flat. As a remedy I have re rinced and slow spun in the machine, fingers crossed some improvement, curently drying. However I know others have used this yarn and been quite happy with it, so I am at a bit of a loss. Perhaps just the wrong choice of pattern. Suggestions appreciated.

Looks lovely on you Jean, a very pretty colour and a lovely style. I’ve used this yarn before and I know what you mean regarding the uneven weave but I do actually quite like that. I find that my top goes a bit baggy after wearing but does go back into shape after washing. I do like this yarn but not sure I would buy it again.
