What does luxury feel like?
It was no hardship putting this post together – it is simply a joy to spend time with these three yarns; two are new and there’s a favorite we just couldn’t leave out…
First up is Lobsterpot Lace Weight Cashmere, a sinfully soft yarn that delights the senses. This gorgeous yarn has incredible depth due to the subtle variations that come from being hand dyed in lobster pots. The hand of this cashmere will envelop your senses transcending you to a fiber euphoria. Now who couldn’t use a little bit of fiber euphoria this time of year. Wonderful to knit with and even more wonderful to wear. Of course our immediate thought is scarves, cowls and hats, but don’t forget sweaters. Knitbot Featherweight Cardigan and Knitbot Wispy Cardi would work up beautifully.Next is Lotus Mimi, a luscious 100% mink yarn. Once again, a yarn with an incredible hand. It’s amazingly soft, perfect for anything worn next to the skin. Although classified as a sport weight we find it knits better at a fingering weight gauge. Please note the minks are treated humanely, being shorn for their fur.
Since we’re on the topic of luxurious fine yarns I can’t help but mention Swans Island Fingering Organic Merino Wool Yarn. Although not new, it is one of our finest yarns. For those of you unfamiliar with this gem of a yarn I’m going to quote Gwynn, our knitting guru with the most discerning tastes in yarn. “Swans Island Organic Yarn is the softest wool I have ever touched. It is so buttery soft. If you could actually knit with butter, this is what it would feel like. My needles and fingertips seem to disappear into the folds of each stitch. Submerged in comfy, cushy, velvet, the needle tip then reemerges for more. Every couple of rows I have to stop and snuggle with it. This yarn truly is luxury at its finest. Luxury with a story you can feel in every stitch.” Wow!
