Short Crochet Mesh Vest using Premier Yarns Aurora in Midnight

The soft hand and complex colors will produce beautiful sweaters, blankets and accessories. The 9 color combinations include something for everyone in the family.

• 100% Acrylic.

• Crochet gauge, I-9 (5.5mm) hook: 17 sc & 22 rows = 4” (10.2cm).
• Knit gauge in st st, US 9 (5.5mm) needles: 16 sts & 24 rows = 4” (10.2cm).

 The color combinations include something for everyone in the family. 
Care: hand wash dry flat do not bleach do not iron do not dry clean. "


This is a very soft, thick #4 weight worsted yarn, it is thicker than Red Heart.  
I am also a spinner and this yarn reminded me of hand spun yarn with slight changes in thickness throughout.  There were several spots that were "overspun" and other spots that weren't spun enough. I had to cut out a few large sections of the yarn because it was already fuzzy and looked like it had been through a couple of washes, but was able to hand twist it enough to use for the seams.

The Pattern I used it on is the Short Mesh Vest in a size medium.  My gauge came out correct with a slightly tighter tension than I use with Red Heart or other #4 weight yarns similar to Red Heart.  This created a stiffer feel in the stitches, but still very soft.

This vest used about 4 1/2 skeins, so about 747 yards for a size medium.

Overall, I really like the feel of this acrylic yarn and enjoyed working with it and believe it would be perfect for a garment that needs some extra thickness without having to use a bulky yarn.
