【Wire introduction】
Origin,名副其實,是R&S第一款開發的線材,以德國美麗諾品種毛紡 (woollen- spun)而成,質感卻與一般大眾所熟知的滑順美麗諾不同,Origin不是走親膚路線,反而保留了羊毛天然原始的樣貌,DK base又是非常好上手又百搭的粗細,非常適合麻花紋、Brioche stitch的織物,織紋立體又整齊,洗後澎鬆有彈性,衣物呈現自然的挺度及空氣感,不管是織毛衣或開襟外套,都是很適合的選擇!

- Meg by Junko
由日籍設計師Okamoto Junko 設計的Meg,不同於一般的由上往下直接圈織起針的方式,而是利用特殊的技巧先分別做出二邊肩膀的織片,再連接成前後領口V領的樣式,再往下圈織,整件麻花圖紋及大寬袖的設計,完美襯托出Origin這款充滿空氣感的線材特點!
(Origin,使用色號:混色灰 Grey,用量:約4.5絞)
