I have realised I have been very remiss and not shown you my beautiful yarn.

I chose some Lochan yarn ( merino/tencel ) to make a scarf with when Autumn comes along.

Here it is - isn't it beautiful Very Happy The colour is Pinecone



I was subsequently fortunate enough to buy a skein of Hug from Natalie too.

The colour is Fudge and I shall have co-ordinating Cranfords!



Thank you Noo for drawing my name, and Natalie for the yarn Very Happy

The light is rubbish for photos at the minute. so sorry about the shadows, but you can still see the sheen of the tencel can't you.

It's soooo soft!
