waysideviolet - cozy, lovely things

some of my favorite yarns

Okay, let’s say it’s getting cold outside and you want something to keep your hands warm and busy, but oh no! you are out of yarn. Well, don’t worry I’ve gathered some of my most favorites for you to check out. I love each of these and have been knitting with them all for sometime now.

My most recent purchase was of a Madelinetosh hand-dyed merino wool. I think it will be cozy cowl.

hand-dyed yarn that I could not resist

I’m still working away on Joel’s sweater. I’m using a Lion Brand fisherman’s wool and I quite like how it knits up. It has a decent weight that makes cables look so good.

This achingly beautiful and soft yarn that I found in the garment district in LA has been knit up into a few different thing, but I always pull it apart not quite happy with it. But I don’t even mind because it’s such a fun yarn to work with. I hemmed and hawed about buying this skein, but now my only regret is that I bought just the one!

a new project

I still have a good stash of this beautiful French merino, cashmere and silk blend. It’s so luxurious. The label on this yarn confuses me a bit…I think that the brand is Kashmir.

Even though I have more than enough pretty yarn for all the projects I have going on, I’m hoping for some this Shelter yarn for my birthday.
