When i bought the yarns at the Madrona market, i wasn't sure any of it would go with anything in my stash, just bought it cause i loved it! So.. as i went pawing through my stash yesterday, i came up with some marvelous go-togethers! these 2 on the left look like they were made for each other. in the foreground is the new one i bought at Lamb's Ear Yarn Shop in Tacoma, ("Jewel", Collinette, 4ply merino, 110gms) with this lovely skein i bought at SAFF from Mary Ann at 3 Waters Farm in NC! The 3 Waters skein is SW Merino, called "Underwater", 400 yds. They are so very gorgeous together!!
and this lovely from Chasing Rainbows (called Pansies), is55% Mohair, 45% Merino, 4oz, 300 yds. It is beautiful with a skein that Lynne bought for me in NH. which i've already used part of in the entrelac piece.and i love this one so much it makes my knees weak, so here's another photo of it!
I put 2 of the new yarns (L edge and R edge) with the entrelac and the mitered square pieces to see how they would work together. the L one will probably work well, the R one i'm not sure. will need to wait and see how the whole thing works out.
the last photo shows 2 bundles from the stash. Top one is a handdyed Mohair (54%) with silk, wool and nylon, boucle from Mary Ann at 3 Waters Farm. And it looks quite fine with the skein of a handdyed from Dicentra, SW wool and nylon.
wheeee! i'm feeling overwhelmed with all this stash. and i need to get over that and do something with these lovelies.
