Good to know

Glypja — your questions, answered

How big is it?
12 cm wide and 190 cm long before the fringe. The pattern notes that the knit stretches a lot but doesn’t say how to measure; we suggest measuring it lying flat without pulling.
How long is the fringe?
The strands are cut 40 cm long. The pattern does not say to fold them, but if you fold each strand in half through the edge, as is usual, the fringe hangs about 20 cm (our calculation).
Will I have yarn left over?
The kit holds 2 balls of dark soft purple — the amount the pattern asks for, including the fringe.
Is the sweater in the photo included?
No — the striped sweater under the scarf is a different pattern from the same book. This kit is the scarf.
Why is the colour different from the pattern?
Orchid (0159), a soft pinkish purple, is no longer in Ístex’s Álafosslopi range, and no current colour is a close match. This kit has dark soft purple (0163) in its place — the same purple family, but deeper and darker than the scarf in the photo. You can choose another shade in the colour picker.
What does the kit with needles include?
A 6 mm (US 10) circular needle in 60 cm, used back and forth — ADDI, as named in the pattern. A crochet hook for the fringe is not included.
