Should I be thinking up catchier titles for my posts? Nah, at least they are descriptive, right?
On Friday I got my Purl Box delivery - some Fluff, for a Diaphanous Raglan, some more Fluff, probably for a v-neck cardigan and a random skein of sock yarn in the colourway Catharsis, because it's pretty. I've apparently made a sudden about turn. Before everything had to be teal. Now all must be pink.
I'm going to hold the Fluff on the left with a very light grey / pink 4 ply, which I think I will dye myself, so i did some experimenting with dying some minis on the weekend. What I learnt is that, up to a point I can just make my dye stock lighter, but I really do need to buy some gentler pinks.
I also discovered that Wangaratta Woolen Mills now sells undyed yarn, including a heavy 4 ply on the cone. I see one of those wending it's way to me quite soon. I figure a cardigan for me, a jumper for Leon, a couple of pairs of socks, some minis for my sock blanket... it will be used up before I know it (or at least before the end of the decade!)

I love your purchased yarns together. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe colours! So pretty! I buy my 4ply from Bendigo but I will definitely check out the Wangaratta one. I love Bendigo's Luxury but it can be a bit too soft, if there is such a thing, particularly for colourwork.
