| Lace-weight yarn on size 1 needles. |
Yes, I have some luxury yarn that I purchased last June when I went to the Wool Market in Estes Park, Colorado. It's been patiently waiting for me to pick it up and get started on a Lizard Scarf, which is designed to take exactly one ball of this fabulous yarn: Qiviuk. It was purchased from Windy Valley Muskox in Alaska. This ball is 45% Qiviuk, 45% Extrafine Merino Wool, and 10% Mulberry Silk. Ohhhh, so soft. And...it was on sale, so I thought it was a great way to get a little Qiviuk in the knitting diet. I've cast on, and have started the first few rows of this lacy scarf.
SO patient and so very pretty. It will work up to show the lace so beautifully in one shade of a color. Great choice

ReplyDeleteI've wanted to try qiviuk, but the price has always driven me away. I've heard it keeps you very warm!
ReplyDeleteOooooh, I can't wait to see this in person.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Wish I were close enough to touch it as I've heard it's really soft. Nice job diving into the stash!!!
