Fiber snob

Askeladden sheep friendly merino have been my favourite yarn for three years, but the more berries jacket gave me a crush on alpaccas from Du Store Alpakka. More than half my projects this winter and spring have been made from this alpacca: The more berries jacket and shrug, a few baby gifts, mittens and scarves for DD and myself, and a lace cap we still fight over.

But now I have gathered my last scraps of alpacca to embroidery on a kimono, and the crush is over. Promise.

But before I return to the crisp merinos, I need to explore the Askeladden merino/silk-blends. Currently on the needles: Delicate, white lace for a baby and a soft, green shrug for me.
