Patons Shadow Tweed in a blue to pinky purple colourway:
Some two-toned cream/white 8ply. Maybe Cleckheaton Country Naturals:
Cleckheaton Country Silk in a charcoal with white flecks:
Some Patonyle. Six in white and four in the burgundy I need to edge the Mitre Vest:
And a big cone of green 8py for felting:
There were some bags of a lovely green-burgundy colourway of Jet that I put back because my friend had some and I didn’t want to buy the same thing. Turns out she put it back too, so I’ve been kicking myself since.
We could go home via the mills. But I don’t think I could persuade the beau to take me there a third time. Sigh.
An excellent haul!
I really love the photo of both of you holding all of the yarn! I got some Shadow tweed in the same colourway for christmas (only 2 balls) and am trying to decide what to use it for. Any ideas for yours?
I’ve been thinking a cardy or jacket of some kind, knit sideways. Then yesterday I had a look at the pattern book for the yarn online, and there were some interesting designs to tempt me.
I think it would make a great snake scarf (er, have a look under FOs for 2007 for mine and hopefully there’ll be a link to the pattern) though it might be a bit chunky. I bought some in a red-purple colourway a few months back so I could try it out with that pattern.
OMG what a haul!!!I think it makes a great reason to move to Viccy for the closeness to these Mills!!!
