When temperature drops, the only thing I want is to slip under a plaid in my sofa in front of my TV, with a hot drink and my on-going knit project. When big yarns showed up if the net and social netiworks, I had a big crush for these xxl plaids and this winter I decided to make one.
I chose to make this plaid with Maille name is Yvette yarn sold by Kesi’art. Before starting, I made a gauge. The risk to start a this kind of project without is is thin but I wanted to see how Treillis stitch is with this yarn.

My opinion on Maille name is Yvette yarn
Yvette is a XXL yarn 100% wool. Its advantage is that you can knit it with needles or arms and it goes very fast. Otherwise, it’s hard work as you must do big gestures.
