close knit: the neighborhood yarn shop
This pretty new Yakima from Plymouth is really cool!
It's a single ply fingering weight yarn with some lovely dark halo action happening thanks to the 15% yak content. Several folks on Ravelry are making a Belmina lace cowl/kerchief sort of thing.
I think I would try holding this yarn together with some mohair to pump up the dark halo affect.
I love this combo. It would make a nice Oslo hat too, perhaps? Any excuse to knit another hat.
Ooooo...look at these pretty Jilly Petities. I think they look like little jewels or candies. These would be a fun addition to a scarf or hat project!
We have more hand dyed speckles! The dyers at Plymouth Yarns know what they are doing apparently. This is Estilo, a single ply sport weight.
It reminds me a bit of some Tosh yarns we used to carry. The speckles are so subtle, and the color combinations are really unusual. It seems like the knitted fabric would have some lovely drape and flow, so I would use it for a shawl or scarf or something flowy. Stop in and take a look!
