Notes

I am in love! This yarn is a definite Sleeper! Diamond in the rough so to speak!

Nothing to look at, the colour of cement, grey/taupe… it feels icky to knit with but OMBOB soft after a bath! And Bloom! As soft as Piuma… and comparing it to the yellow Piuma, definitely softer!!

BUT, what is it? Can I get more? Are there other colours? Where has this been hiding??

Dec. 6th.

This turned out soooo soft and pretty! (Despite the ugly colour! ;-)
