I mentioned then that I had just signed up for the 2012 Year in Color Club with Tanis Fiber Arts and ever since, I've been thinking about what new yarn I would be introduced to in the new year. Well, my gorgeous skein arrived last night (thank you, Mr. Mailman) all the way from Canada and I couldn't be happier!
This is a superwash merino in a fingering weight and the colorway is stunning. Tanis chose the perfect name for this color, and I'm really excited to wind it up into a cake and cast on. It came with an original pattern by Hannah Fettig of Knitbot fame, and while I've made a very loose promise not to have too many WIPs on my needles, I don't think this one can wait.
Aren't the subtle changes in tone incredible? So, once again, my mailman is my friend -- I only hope he doesn't think he needs to do an intervention with me about my stash.
That really IS a beautiful colour - I'm really looking forward to seeing how it knits up :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful mailman you have to bring such beautiful yarn right to your door!
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous skein of yarn! I can't wait to see the FO!
ReplyDeleteThat is some seriously beautiful yarn.
ReplyDeleteThe colors in this yarn are great. Can't wait to see the finished piece
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm loving the colors. It must have been hard to capture in pictures, so congrats!
ReplyDeleteThat colorway says seed stitch me! or double moss. I love when colors pool in a gentle way, and lately I go to those two stitches to get an eye pleasing product.
ReplyDeleteIt is SO beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat is fun stuff! Excuse: Supporting an independent Mom & Pop while getting awesome yarn in return. Score for everybody!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of your truffle yarn!! I love the photos I've seen, it looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteLovely yarn and I definitely think it's great to be part of a wool club!
ReplyDeleteoooohhhhh my! Beautiful! What will you make with this loveliness?
ReplyDeleteI did a double take with title of this post! I really, really love that yarn. I have a feeling that the picture doesn't do it justice though.
ReplyDeleteTanis does good! That is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe colors on that are amazing! I can't wait to see what you make with it.
ReplyDeleteyay! fellow clubber! thanks for your comments on my blog. I'm super excited to start on the January pattern, but like you I already have so many WIPs already! Looking forward to seeing your results!
ReplyDeleteYum!!! I am really looking forward to seeing what you do with that.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to knit this up in the HF design?
ReplyDeleteOhhh, how I want to feel this skein slip though my fingers and needle.
