I was cleaning up my yarns and organizing them and I came across four balls of this ribbon yarn by Lion Brand called Trellis. I wondered if it would knit on my bulky machine so I tried it. OMG I have to tell you how drapey and pretty this is. I used about a ball and a half for the scarf and then I made fringe on the ends . The colors are so vibrant. They are lime, turquoise and fuschia. I wondered how to describe the yarn and I thought, Wow , this reminds me of the stained glass windows in churches. I sat down after making the scarf and wrote the pattern and looked at the color and guess what-DUH! It is called Stained Glass! The amazing thing is that none of the yarn got caught up on the needles. The worst part was when I ran out of yarn and it dropped. It took longer to put back on the machine than it did to knit the whole scarf. Because I don’t remember what I paid for this yarn, now I look it up to see what the cost is so I can price it to sell and OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take a look at ebay. That is the only place to find it because the yarn is discontinued. People are asking up to 10 dollars a ball! Each ball is 50 grams and it is 1 & 3/4 ounces. The scarf is 60 inches long and 3 inches wide.

I made a scarf from that yarn about 2/3 yrs ago and receive many compliments on it. The colors are vibrant, I really use mine alot especially like it on black,
Glad you found yours and were able to make the scarf.

Thank you Jan, I made two and I am going to keep one probably. Yes the colors are really vibrant and it does look good on black. I just can’t get a decent picture to show the colors.
Thanks again,
Carol

OMG!!! I wonder why they stopped making it? Probably got too expensive to get their money back… It IS gorgeous tho…

Why wouldn’t they start making it again when they see the demand? Especially when a lot of people are in to knitting now.
