Cumulus Rainbow

This pretty stuff jumped right out at me when I walked into the shop. It's a new version of Juniper Moon Farm Cumulus, now with a long color-repeat rainbow effect.

This yarn is so light and fluffy, and it feels so much better in person than you might expect from a cotton/nylon blend. Melissa reports that it feels like knitting with air, and I think it feels like a cloudy marshmallow. 
An art teacher friend of mine is having a summer baby this year, so I'm thinking a rainbow tunic/dress using one of the brighter colorways. I can't wait to see how it knits up!

Eye Candy

OMG rainbow socks! Hello PAIRFECT Rainbow Colors from Schachenmayr.
I love a good self-striping sock yarn, and these are just the ticket. 
Love sock yarn, but not a sock knitter? Stay tuned this week for a really cool event that you might love!
