Churchmouse first used this traditional Estonian stitch in a scarf pattern for the 2016 LYS Tour. Not lace, but so lace-like! Not cabled, but twisted by ‘spinning’ a cluster of stitches 180 degrees! Delighted with the simple but dramatic results in Rowan Kidsilk Haze, they couldn’t wait to use this stitch in a bigger way. It's the perfect twist on their favorite poncho.
