Now I knit my ABCs - E is for eyelash

I love eyelash yarn - as an accent or alone, I think it makes a great fabric.

Eyelash can be a chunky weight (can be knitted alone) or carrying weight novelty yarn. The "eyelashes" are strands of thread (yarn, ribbon, etc) that hang down from the central cord and, when knitted, create a "fur" affect. Short, long, dense, sparse, the eyelash is a fun addition to any funky project.

It knits up so quickly and while it can be a little tricky to work with, it's very forgiving. I can remember the first time I used the yarn - it was turquoise and i was making a small boa for Katie - I was flabbergasted at the results - I've been hooked ever since.
