Handspun goodness

Craft Night again last night. And look what I got!

A few weeks back I offered Yarniverous some yarn to swap. Last night she brought a bag of her beautiful handspun for me to select some yarn from. Having been woefully awful as spinning myself, I think she is incredibly clever and talented and versatile.

I fell instantly in love with a hank of the chocolate alpaca. It’s amazingly soft. There’s not much, but I think if I had a whole jumper knit with this I’d end up curled up in a corner somewhere, cuddling myself. It’s dangerous.

The ball of wool next to it is some alpaca boucle I bought from The Ardent Alpaca in Beechworth two years ago. The shade is very close, so perhaps I’ll combine the two.

The colourful handspun on the left is simply beautiful. I’ve got ideas floating around my head in the shape of pillows or vests, or accent collars. We’ll see. It’s nice to have new yarn to dream up ideas for. Thankyou Lyn!

By the way, have you seen this yet?

  1. Hi from Austria! Wow, what beautiful yarn you got – I agree, the Alpaca looks so soft and tempting – I’m very curious already seeing what you’re gonna make with it!
    And thanks for the link to the knitted tank – now, that one looks so much cooler – and way less dangerous – this way!
