It's so hard to get a good photo of silk. Anyways, it's a silk and merino blend. At least 20% silk. Soooooo soft. The smaller skein is a bit thicker, and has more lime green than deep green. Big skein is about 35 yards, The smaller one is about 12.


Heh, yup--the file name for this one is "clown massacre". It was mostly an experiment with primary colours, but i ended up with some nifty greens, too. About 29-30 yards, and it's pretty thick, too. One ply is a self striping single, the other is a blend of red, blue, and yellow. The first few yards of the skein have a bit of white silk in them, the rest has dyed silk. It's sooooooft.



Same skein, with flash. It's closer to this colour, annnnd you can see the silk better. Again, merino/silk blend.



Grapey red colours. I thought i would like for this to be a hat for me, but that's a no go. Big puffy skein is around 27 yards, and it's super bulky. Size 17 needles, probably. Medium skein is 24 yards, and probably worsted weight. I have all of the wraps per inch written down somewhere, but can't find them right now. Teeny tiny skein is about 13 yards. I like this one. It's got really vivid colours--blood red, bright green, against a grape/burgandy background. I wish i had carded more of these colours together. It's roughly a worsted weight.
