Recently some of my (yarn-enabling) friends mentioned that Purl Soho was having a sale, and I capitulated to the temptation, telling myself that I have been wanting to explore more knitting with cotton now that I'm in Florida, and they have a lovely yarn called Morning that is 75% cotton and 25% yak, which softens it up beautifully. I was looking through projects using it on Ravelry, and came across a beautiful rainbow blanket someone made, and, well, you know how I am about rainbows. I bought most of the same colors.
With regular skein, for scale:
Santolina. For cotton/rayon/hemp, it's softer than I would have expected.

What fun to have lots of projects going! I don't know much about yarn but I love the color of that sample one.
ReplyDeleteI like having different ones to choose to work on--though sometimes I just want to finish something!
DeleteHow pretty! I haven't played with yarn in a long time now. Maybe in September.
ReplyDeleteIt can be a lot of fun!
DeleteI love that feeling of being in the midst of a bunch of fun projects, with more on deck! And the rainbow yarn is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love that feeling too!
DeleteWhat beautiful colors. I wish I knew what to do with yarn besides touch it and talk about how soft it is!
ReplyDeleteThat line-up of colors is glorious!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't resist. Obviously.
