Mmm silky and soft

Did you see Anne's comment below? I certainly did, and found myself exposed to a a large number of Very Nice Things. Like this...Outlet Lana Grossa: Tusshena. A shiny silk/mohair mix (55% silk, 45% mohair) to a bargain price. Instead of 9.48 per ball, they offer it for 2.95. And even cheaper if you buy ten balls. Oooo I like the look of it. And the colours. This might be a good replacement for Lion & Lamb in the Clapotis scarf mentioned below.

And while we're at it: what about kid-mohair for 99 cents?

Some eyecandy before I go:


The Luxemburgish wool I bought two weeks ago.


The mohair I dyed by soaking a dry ball of wool in orange Kool-aid. The white you see came from the inside of he ball, which the dye never reached.

(Yesterday I received a skein of handcoloured Opal from Sticka. My six-year old son has already claimed it for mittens, socks and a scarf. The scarf will either be very short and tiny, or striped with lots of other colours.)
