Yarn: Shiny. Shiny is soft and smooth and… shiny! (In both the reflecting light way and the happy postitive exclamation from Firefly way!) This yarn is very well constructed with three neatly twisted plies that are the key to its glossy shine and lack of halo. The Tencel makes it quite tough with no give (you don’t want to try to snap this yarn with your bare hands) so garments knit from this yarn stay new looking for a long time even after lots of washing. Just say NO to pilling!
Shiny is a wonderful choice for lacey socks, lacey scarves and lacey shawls. Non-lacey items too, I suppose, I’m just partial to the lacey, shiny thing! It is not wooly so it is an excellent choice for summer knitting.
Kismet. I have had the Kismet soundtrack on cassette tape in my car since the day I got my drivers license. I can belt out every word from every tune on it. This colorway is a long-overdue tribute to my favorite 50s musical! Peacocks, monkies, and purple ardornings. Baubles, bangles and beads. And my favorite: Rahadlakum. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1916704000/tt0048260
Skein Design: Soulmates. This pattern alternates between two colors. Where they meet they become their most intense and blend into a color more interesting then either alone. They fade the farther away they get from each other.
