Ode is melange-dyed, where different colors and shades are blended together, creating a rich, unique hue that imparts depth to your weaving. A generous sett and light touch when weaving means projects weave up quickly on both rigid heddle and multi-shaft looms. This lofty, luxurious yarn blooms into spectacularly soft scarves and shawls when wet-finished, and can be used with Array for home decor overshot projects or blankets and large garments that may require a bit of structure.
I bought this to stash for who knows what because I love the color and Ode is good for so many projects, but ended up using the same day it arrived for a project I under-budgeted warp. Absolutely stunning. So soft. So strong. Plays well with others.
Beautiful to hand and eye. Lovely weaving yarn. Very easy to work with.
I'm in the final stages of an all-Ode blanket scarf & WOW is is it the: softest, strongest, loveliest alpaca ever. No broken warps, even as I'm weaving on all 8 shafts, double width 2/2 twill. Great hand feel/weight overall and lovely colors (using a mix of neutrals: cloud, cream, fawn, shadow, blossom, & daylight)
This was my first adventure with Ode. I was pleasantly surprised. The scarf I wove came off the loom rather stiff and not so soft. But, as weavers always say, the finishing is the key. After I washed the project in cold water on the delicate setting with Eucalan it came out soft and beautiful. Just like the picture. The only thing is that it is very warm so I’m waiting for another cold day to give it a try. Oh, and I love the color. I’m looking forward to doing this project again with some of the other suggested colors.
Ode Alpaca is a joy to work with, it is both luxurious and strong. It drapes beautifully in shawls, wraps, and scarves. Whatever project you use it for will draw oohs and aaahs.
