What a Yarn

There’s one love that we all share: yarn. Blog about a particular yarn you have used in the past or own in your stash, or perhaps one that you covet from afar. If it is a yarn you have used you could show the project that you used it for, perhaps writing a mini ‘review’. Perhaps, instead, you pine for the feel of the almost mythical qiviut? You could explore and research the raw material and manufacturing process if you were feeling investigative.


I love YARN. I'm not picky enough to say...I won't knit with anything that's not wool. In fact, wool just doesn't work all the time in California. I really enjoy projects I've knit with Rowan Calmer and Lion Brand Cotton-Ease. Although, I think my favorite yarn so far has been Dream in Color Smooshy. I knit my Clapotis in that...and I use it all. the. time. Enough that I'd like another in a different color. I think my big list is yarns I dream about. I want to try something with Habu Textiles. Stainless Steel and Linen...so neat. I want to knit in Denim. I want to try SO MANY of the fun sock yarns out there. It's a good thing I don't want to ever quit knitting. ;0)

I like linen blends, but didn't care for LINEN. I'll be interested in your opinions!

I've wondered about that stainless steel and linen blend. Sounds odd, but can't be any worse than possum and wool. LOL
