Project Spectrum--August


So, for my August project, a little cabled vest. Will I finish? Maybe. Do I want to? This is the most luscious yarn that has ever passed through my hands. It was my big splurge at Stitches Midwest. It's 75% Cashmere, 25% Polwarth wool, from Rovings. I couldn't wait to start a project with it. There is a lovely halo that can be seen even with the yarn rolled into a ball, and the color is undyed. I love that it is the color of the little animals that made it! I had a hard time passing that little booth and not being sucked into its luxury fiber delights. There was some buttery yellow Cashmere and Yak blend that was calling out to me as well. A sweet little Quiviut, Polwarth and Alpaca blend found its way home with me this year too, and will become a delicious little lacy scarf. Rovings was probably my favorite booth at Stitches, but in future posts I will send some knitterly love to some other of the Market stars. I have enough to spread around.
