Well, okay, not yet they’re not.
But those are the plans for this little pile of goodies from Colinette:
- Isis, shade Summer Berries – 100% viscose chenille type
This one’s going to be a plain scarf, I think. It’s pointless trying to work a stitch pattern in chenille yarn, and the velvety soft finish should be interesting enough. - Tagliatelli, shade Paintbox – 90% merino, 10% nylon tape yarn
Destined for a very simple garter stitch scarf. This yarn looks better and better the more you handle it, as the edges of the tape start to fray a little. Paintbox is so bright it’s practically fluorescent! - One Zero, shade Marble – 100% wool
I am absolutely in love with this yarn – both the weight of it and the beautiful subtle colourway. I don’t think a lacy pattern would work with a thick-and-thin yarn, so perhaps something with cables. - Graffiti, shade Fresco – 100% wool
This was my attempt at choosing a manly colour, for a manly scarf. Destined for something with ribbing, I expect. - Point Five, shade Tapis – 100% wool
I bought two skeins of this, to make a new display model for my hat and scarf sets.
All of these are destined for the Art Market on November 22nd.
I have to admit that I did spend rather a long time squidging the parcel and poking at each individual skein before I wound them up into these pretty little wool cakes.
I may also have had a little game of “when I own a wool shop…” which is a part of my imagination that I like to retreat into every now and again. My Imaginary Wool Shop sells many things that I can’t buy locally, such as Colinette, and Addi needles, and the lovely Brittany ones which I’ve heard wonderful things about but never met in person.
But mostly, My Imaginary Wool Shop has a sofa, and a swift and a ball winder, and a library shelf, and a lot of friendly, happy knitters.
