Recently I’ve been trying to find laceweight yarn in specific, solid colours. I like varigated yarns, but they’re not ideal for intricate lace, because the pattern gets lost in a riot of colour. And I wanted something bright. Well, I’ve achieved that!

These gorgeous skeins of yarn were dyed for me by the very clever Cairi (visit her Etsy shop!). The yarn is wool with a smidgen of nylon, the same as I used for the Pi Shawl. And the colours almost shine, they are so bright! The green is very solid, whereas the purple has a subtle varigation.
I now need to design some beautiful shawls to make the most of these fantastic colours.
