I was in a mood to treat myself and left with some new bamboo needles, some cute heart shaped wooden buttons and this...
Isn't it gorgeous? It's a hand dyed, silk/merino wool mix yarn by Louisa Harding. It is smooth and soft with a fabulous sheen. Hand painted by artisans in Chile - every hank is unique.
This one is a blend of blues ranging from pale aqua to dark navy called 'Coastal' and I absolutely fell in love with it and just had to bring it home!
Only problem is I have no idea what I will make with it!
So I am looking for some suggestions.
Knit or crochet - I don't mind.
The yarn weight is somewhere between DK and aran weight with a recommended needle size 4mm or hook size 5.5mm - 6.5mm. The hank is 110yds in length so there is only enough for a small project.
Please help! I would hate for this sublime yarn to end up in my stash box, taken out occasionally to be stroked and 'oooooed' over...
Hi
ReplyDeleteI was wandering around google images to find patterns for this yarn as I want to buy some but would like to see how it knits up.
That's how I found your blog.
Then I came across this website

and if you scroll down there's a beautiful jacket almost in the shade you have.
So now, I'm off to browse for some for myself.
Happy knitting
