Try a Little Softness

Hiya from a.,

Several weeks back I went to the Woodstock fleece festival and was able to purchase some seriously lovely fibre.  The most exciting was a merino with silk and cashmere.  This roving was just a delight to spin and I can't recommend it enough.  Here is a link to the etsy store for those interested sericin silkworks . There wasn't a single slub in the roving the colours ran true and it was just so darn soft.  When I plyed it, it also was one of the most balanced yarns I had made and thus didn't require as much prep and washing as some other high energy things I've spun. 
Of course, me being me, I made a scarf/shawlette out of it:

It is warm and soft and I like the solid body with the lace edge.  Here is a closer look:

The colours are really dark and rich and blend together well.  The body is classic seed or granite stitch which I find always gives a nice texture.

Just to give a heads up our posting might be less for the next couple weeks as most of what we are working on are Christmas gifts and we can't post those until after they have been given to people.

See you space cowboy....
