Manchester, England, England and the long wait for our girls to come home

No, our girls have not gone to war but waiting for them to come back was equally painful! Two friends of mine had gone to Manchester to a conference and I sent them to Purl City Yarns :) They came back with these beauties:



The variegated skeins are Malabrigo Lace and the mohair (argh!) is Drops' Kid-Silk, the latter bought at their own initiative, to be turned into... well, a scarf ;). Unfortunately, they bought just one skein of it, which is only 25g and 199m so not much of a scarf potential there but I guess I could whip up a skinny Wisp?

  1. Oh, love both the Malabrigo and the Drops Kid-Silk! I've used the Drops and really loved working with it ... but then again, I like mohair. :)

    And I have not seen the Wisp pattern before. Now it will make it to my queue. Gah!

  3. Trebala si ih poslati sa spiskom, oni koji ne pletu ne znaju što se može ili ne može sa 200 m vune, vide lijepo klupko, pa misle da ćeš za nešto iskoristiti ...

  11. Malabrigo is yummy. And yeah, you should be able to get a tiny wisp out of that mohair skein. :)
