Yummy!
Look what I got in the mail today from Rob and Matt at ThreadBear. Koigu in three wonderful shades and Cascade 220 in Rainer Heather!
I think most of the Koigu is destined to be socks. The Cascade is likely to be felted into a daypack. I am really looking forward to diving in to another felting project!.
I'm almost finished with the second Brazil sock and am making gradual progress up the back of Pebbles. Pictures of those will show up this weekend.
Note (Added 4/25/03): I can't believe I forgot to put the colorways up for the Koigu! From left to right they are p107, p122 and p126. And the p126 is much more interesting in person than it is in the picture: purple and blue and green jewel tones with orangey accents.
Oh how I love Koigu! I'll be waiting to see the numbers on these colorways, especially the skein in the middle.
I love koigu! (I always describe it as Yummy too). I'm working on a sweater with 6 varigated colourways but have put it aside for summer projects. I've never used it for socks, but might have to give that a try... Oh ya!and write that thesis too!
The Koigu is so beautiful. Every pair of Koigu socks I've ever seen have been stunning. I'm looking forward to seeing yours!
Gorgeous yarn! I just washed my Koigu's in the washer in "wool cycle" and they are softer than ever. So they ARE machine washable :)
