New stash arrived this week in the form of the Wildcraft Fibre club. The November 2011 edition is the colourway ‘Last of the Sunflowers’ which was dyed on some lovely coloured Shetland. For the first time in the 3 years that I’ve been in Karen’s club my husband has claimed the fibre. It is so perfect for him.
These lovely shades of browns and burnt yellows and oranges are going to be turned into the yoke portion of a garter yoke cardigan or pullover. The main body colour and yarn is still to be determined, but I think it is going to be a great addition to his wardrobe.
I have a total of 200g of this fibre and will be making it into a traditional 3ply. It will also likely be the next item on my big wheel… once I get through all those lovely blue batts.
