Dale of Norway's "Svale" is a sportweight cotton blend spun from 50% cotton, 40% rayon and 10% silk. This yarn is soft with a tone-on-tone nature providing added interest.

I bought enough of this in a light green color to make a sleeveless tank. I have not knit with it yet but I can tell you that the Dale "Trend" trend books have some very pretty and classic designed summer knits.

I am interested in making a poncho to be used for nursing. I like the weight and feel of svale yarn but i don't have a pattern. Does anyone have a pattern suggestion that fits this yarn and is a close enough weave for privacy?

Very soft, wonderful drape. The colors blend in a way that makes it look almost iridescent, but, don't worry: the yarn has a matte finish! I really enjoyed working with this yarn, it's great for drapy summer tops or sweaters mild climates.
