Yarn: Kabam. Kabam! is a luscious yarn! The bamboo lends this yarn a lovely soft glow, not shiny, but joyfully luminous! The superwash merino dyes beautiful, rich colors which are diffused by the bamboo without losing much intensity. This yarn has little or no stretch, a wonderful silky drape and a sensuously soft hand.
Originally perceived as a sock yarn, it now has a following for lacey garments and baby gear (as well as socks)! Socks knit in plain stockinette are very attractive, but this yarn also shows off fancy stitches beautifully.
Talon. Murky red and caustic green. They meet and form a pithy brown and then fade away in their respective colors to lighten then darken again. I wanted this one for a pair of knee high stockings. The colors were inspired by the sentient ship in Farscape.
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.
