I think I have become a little obsessed with tweed type yarn. This came with the addition of some Jo Sharp Silkroad DK Tweed, one ball in a beautiful icy blue and one in a wonderful pinky raspberry. I already have 4 balls of light blue Grignasco Tango and 4 balls of the same in red, and of course the cobblestone jumper for The A that is also a silk/wool tweed.
The wonderful thing about these yarns is how soft they are, not the typical scratchy tweed of yesteryear. Now made up of wool, silk, cashmere and alpaca tweed is something that I can now wear with joy (I hate scratchy things near my skin)
I have no clue what to knit with these yarns but the Jo Sharp will probably become a cowl, wristlets or beret/hat.
(Aren’t the photos great? I used natural light near the couch and backed the yarn with some white paper, I love how well the colour comes out!)
Ooooh! I love tweed too. I have a beautiful purple one that it's crying to be used, but I haven't found that "perfect" project for it yet. xD
ReplyDeleteThe red yarn is particularly nice. I'd say a Weesley sweater from Harry Potter... if you like that. lol!
