It's that time again! This week I'm crazy excited about the results. I know I usually say stuff like that, but I LOOOVVVEEE this skein. Weirdly, when making the colorway, I thought I would just be iffy on it. Let's see what you think. I think it would make a mighty fine pair of socks! Obviously I made a swatch with it (as you will see below) to show how it strips, hence the lower grams/yards than the original hank. I have one more test with this yarn, to wash the swatch. It had a little bleeding with the reddish pink on my fingers while knitting with it, so before I put it up for sale, I want to make sure the colors stay put.

ReplyDeleteI can't decide whether I like the skeined or swatched picture better. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteDawn, thanks! I wasn't crazy about the yarn when I put it into a ball to knit the swatch, so I definitely love the swatch more :)
