Need yarn advice
|
I want to make the Cozy on knitty.com but I don`t care for the yarn they used. I was thinking of switching it to the Peruvian Alpaca or the Austermann Mohair. Can anyone give comments on either of these yarns.

felting gjestal naturgarn
|
Glad to see it felted well. I have a couple in my basket right now for a felted bag for SIL. The colors are just gorgeous and it was a hard decision on what to buy!

Bets-Thank You
|
LOL! I have a reminder in my palm for the day prior and will be late for work so that I can get my order in!
I am going to use velvet and the silvery grey color.

Jo Sharp Mohair

I am planning to do a scarf from the Jo Sharp mohair and am going to use 2 different colors. Just wondering if I should add a heavier yarn to give it some weight. Never done this before...ideas anyone...

Thanks Bets! I will use the 2 colors together and not striped. I liked them both and thought instead of choosing between them I would just use them both!
As for the blanket...I wish I could take all the credit but I just followed the pattern. I finished the blanket this week and am itching to get started on my felted bag with the yarn that arrived yesterday.

Roll call-whatcha working on this week??? How`s the Christmas giftlist?
|
I am working on a tote bag with Gjestal in Cranberry. It will be felted and a gift for SIL. After that I will start a ski hat and scarf for FIL and a scarf for MIL. After all that I may work on a prayer shawl for Step mom but between work, school and volunterring that may have to be a "happy spring" gift instead of Christmas.

I`m so excited
|
My mohair arrived yesterday and I can`t stop petting it. It is so beautiful and the color is exactly what I was anticipating. I also got my gjestal superwash wool for FIL hat and scarf. It is also really soft. I can`t wait to get started.

Highland Wool
|
I love the colors of the Highland Wool! However, I don`t know a whole lot about it.
Is it worsted or chunky?
Is it as soft as alpaca?
I was going to use alpaca for a shawl for SM but am thinking that highland wool would be more cost effective.

OK, I am sold!!!!!
The wrap is going to be in the highland wool and it is so cheap that I may make one for myself too. That should keep me busy for the 125 days that hubby is out of country. Oooh and maybe a nice vest too...and a sweater...and next years Christmas...
Now I have to go stress over which colors to buy.
