Nice wool for wear!

Posted by Unknown on 10th Sep 2010

I obtained some of this wool when my mum made me a top with this and gave me what remained.
It was a longline long-sleeved top with flared sleeves (M) so would've been fairly heavy anyway but you really notice the weight of it altogether when you pick it up.
It looks wonderful though and is really cosy to wear in cold weather (I took it to New York in February).

I don't find it particularly easy to knit with because of the multitude of loops, so far my least favourite type of yarn of the colinette collection. But that's not to say I dislike it, knitting in general is too enjoyable to mind what the yarn is like.

The wool has a lot more olive-green in it than depicted in the imag, but I guess it all depends on the individual skein as they're hand-dyed.
