They are very pretty! I have never tried YY merino or merino tencel. I guess I'm only waiting for the right color to come along.

One of the yarns I auctioned for terri's run was merino tencel from n. How I ever parted with it in the post I shall never know!

Lovely colours.  Merino/tencel is gorgeous to wear, really lets your feet breathe - no more sweaty tootsies!

I have some of the MT....its lovely and silky but I was worried about knitting it up into socks as about 4 of my pairs of pure merino socks have developed holes due to my crabby feet...ones with nylon in however seem to stand up alot more!!  So does the tencel act like a nylon and make the yarn stronger??? I can't bear the heartbreak of more handknit socks going to the back of the drawer until I've worked out how to darn!!  I am booking my feet into scholl for a pamering and softening up!

I know people HAVE used the MT for socks and it is comfy to wear, but I tend to think of it as a shawl/scarf yarn because it's so lovely next to the skin, and quite drapey IYKWIM.
Likewise the new wool/bamboo yarn is in theory a sock yarn and would be cooling to wear but it's definitely finer than my regular yarn, and is smoother so I'm suggesting it for scarves. I'm about to do a Hypoteneuse in it.
And it's got more yardage about 470m/100g so it stands to reason it will need smaller needles etc to be used as a sock yarn.
Glad you like them Pictish

Nice yarns. Got some Yy merino and merinotencel but not knitted with hte merino yet and started a shawl in the MT but htink it might have to be frogged. Not hte yarn's fault. Pattern not working out like I htought it would. It's nice to knit with. Also working on a scarf in NDS merino tencel and it's equally gorgeous. Got some Fyberspates MT too I think, or do I?

I've still got the MT that I won in one of the auctions last year but can't bear to knit with it as it's just to lush and squishy in the skein! I have come close to knitting it....... will try to pluck up the courage sometime this year. MT is such a lovely combination.
I love your colours Pictish. Very edibile indeed!!

I have a skien of the YY MT...it's uber soft and destined to be socks too. It's hard to pluck up the courage and wind it into a ball
