Yarn Report – Week 13, 2014

I was tempted to write this post before the mail lady arrived but I guess it all evens out in the end. What didn’t get reported this week will get reported next week.

Here’s what arrived:

• 2 skeins of Rowan DK in Ochre to finish Nicole’s Blue Sand.
• 1 skein of Rowan DK in Cut Grass to finish Nicole’s Blue Sand.
• 1 skein of Rowan DK in Clementine to finish Nicole’s Blue Sand.

That yarn has been discontinued and I was getting scared I was going to run out so I got it while I could find it. If I don’t use it all, maybe I’ll have enough to make a sweater for Addie and they can match.

More arrivals:

• 1 skein Madelinetosh DK in Ember
• 2 skeins Madelinetosh DK in Stovepipe
• 3 skeins Madelinetosh DK in Night Bloom
• 2 skeins Madelinetosh DK in Maple Leaf

I already told you what all that was for .. it was due to a yarn shift and making 2 different sweaters from the yarn for one.

More arrivals:

• 7 skeins Dream in Color Classy in Chameleon

You know there’s a reason I bought this too!  I love the old Dream in Color Classy and they’ve changed it to a new “softer” yarn. After my bad pilling experience with a soft yarn and discussion with the dyer, I try to stay away from “soft”. I love this cardigan. It’s Persistence is the Key and that pretty much sums up life around here.  I wanted to make it and I think DIC Classy (old) is the perfect yarn and what color would be more perfect than this green?  So .. I bought it while I could!

Here’s how it all got paired up.

For my Blue Sand:

For Kynance Cove:

I could be losing any hope of using more than I buy this year but . . I’ve used a lot of yarn in Nicole’s sweater so when I finish that, it’s going to help a lot!
