Custom Order

Made for Jane, as part of a custom order: a feather-and-fan scarflette made with Colinette's Banyan yarn in Mardi Gras. This dye lot is redder and more striking than the one that I'd used previously, but I like it a lot. It's very bold.

I've said it before, but this is a really lovely yarn. It works up incredibly quickly, and the colour changes add a twist to the pattern. I hope Jane likes it!

Banyan: Mardi Gras

My Colinette wools arrived just over a week ago, and they're so lovely that I just had to get going with them straight away. This is Mardi Gras, a hand-dyed, cotton-viscose mix, and I was a little bit nervous about using such a fine and slippery yarn. But it works up really nicely - and surprisingly quickly - and I'm currently making a dress scarf in feather and fan stitch that will eventually be listed on my Zakura store.

Colinette

I couldn't resist, and I've given in to temptation. I've ordered some Colinette Banyan yarn, in Mardi Gras and Lagoon:



I think they'll be perfect for scarves in feather and fan stich - as long as I don't mess up my counting this time!
