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. 
*waves to my babies* be good for Bronte and help her make something yummy
Glad you like it hun it makes me so happy to think your pleased with it
i wondered who’d got those colours!!
yay!
I have to put in my order sometime soon.. sorry Cairi, I’m a bit lax at the moment…
Those are striking. Quite a nice variety from the usual muted-ness of laceweight yarns.
ooh my two most favouritest colours in the *world* ( especially together!)
really yummy. Looking forward to seeing what you make from those!
