Warm Weather is here! (well, it was yesterday)
By Megan Goodacre
No, it's not raining this morning. I said, it's NOT raining this morning, and how dare you suggest otherwise. I'm going to celebrate the glowing spring sunshine which is pouring through my window this morning with a little warm weather yarn.
This is Soie Bambou, a 65% Silk 35% Bamboo blend from elann, in the colour Sea Grass. (Oh and it's made in France where the ladies wear no pants. Or is it the men? No, the men don't care, 'cause they wear no underwear. Oh, I'm feeling juvenile today.)
It comes in a cone of 680 yards, so I think I can get scarf out it. I've been experimenting with it, and the fabric is gorgeous. Nice stitch definition, lots of drape, but it feels lightweight. A glimmer of sheen, but it's primarily a soft matte finish.
There's a beautiful free shawl pattern that uses 1 cone, the Luna Moth by Shui Kuen Kozinski.
Happy Election Day!
