Recently I’ve been stash building… what knitter can help it?!!?
I ordered several delicious looking skeins from three different sellers on Etsy and was NOT disappointed. They’re all gorgeous! Colors varied a little from my monitor, but that’s to be expected. I’m still on the hunt for the perfect thing for my shrug project though. In the meantime, I’ve got plenty of other fun projects on my plate.
First up from See Jane Knit Yarns!
We have Green Tea, alpaca sportweight.
It’s soft and yummy! A little lighter weight than I was expecting, but I’m still learning about things that don’t come from Joann Fabrics… It’s a little more yellow/lime than I thought it would be, but love it anyway. Did a small swatch and even my husband says he likes it!
Next we have Trivimp featuring Black Rose, Merino wool sock yarn.
Soft, squishy totally beautiful! Swatched this one up too and love it!!! This may be destined to become my first pair of socks…
Lastly we have FearlessFibers. After several emails with her, and a lot of narrowing down I ordered three (and will probably order several others in the future.) I love the way she photographs her yarn, as though it were bowls heaped with delicious ice cream!
Lust superwash merino wool sock yarn.
More red than I was expecting, but gorgeous!!!
Marrakesh, Merino wool superwash sock.
More yellow and less olive than I thought, but again, lovely!!! Not sure what it is to be quite yet…
Majestic, merino wool laceweight.
More purple than I thought, I was expecting blues and grays. But, I love it!!! It’s very beautiful. I believe it will have life as a lacy scarf.
I haven’t had time to wind up and swatch these last three skeins yet. For now I just pet them because they deserve it…
