Recycled Silk


Recycled Silk
Originally uploaded by Disentangled.
I am very excited about this recent yarn purchase. Its recycled sari silk and it is just beautiful. The multicolored hank on the top is desitined to become a One Skein Wonder. This yarn is the less "finished" variety whereas the black is very smoothly twisted. I picked up both of these from the Wool Peddler who imports these from Nepal. The service was very quick and I love the color of yarn that was selected for me. (You have the option of telling what color range you'd prefer although I'm pretty sure each hank is entirely unique with just about every color imaginable.

I did a test swatch last night for my gauge and it looks like the Kathmandu Unrefined will work on the recommended needles from the pattern. I may even cast on tonight...

Ooh, I think that One Skein Wonder would look really cute on you. It accentuates certain things we don't need to accentuate around here, so it's not for me, but really cute.
