Back to the Yarn
The air has been a little heavy lately here at figknits.
I know! L
et's look at some yarn!
Most of this is from my visit to Lamb's Ear to see Roxy and pick up some swatching fiber. From the left, you see some ArtYarns Supermerino in color 105, some Manos (merino/corriedale blend) in color 113, a bit of Koigu, some Colinette Jitterbug 100% merino in Toscana 55, two "eye-talyun" merinos--Ornaghi Filati Merino Kind ("Superfine") and Berroco Pure Merino ("Extra Fine"), and some Louet Gems Superfine Merino fingering weight in lilac.
