Crafty Threads 'n' Yarns

I saw this new yarn today in The Wool Shop in Newtownards. This pattern especially caught my attention. Has anyone knit with it yet?

The meterage is fantastic, 420m in 100grams.

I saw this at Ally Pally last week - it looks really soft and drapy. I wish I'd bought some now Rolling Eyes

I was looking at Janice's Clapotis and thinking how good the pattern would look knitted in this yarn. Smile

One of the ladies from my knitting group bought a ball of it in on Wednesday. It is unbelievably soft and has the sheen of Rayon embroidery silk. She paid £6.99 for a ball and got a free sock pattern with it.

Very yummy stuff : )

I'm a tad confused, I only paid £2.50 a ball for my Wendy Happy Shocked

Bought it in John Lewis. Thought it was awfly cheap for a Bamboo mix. Wonder if someone has made a mistake with the price. Must go back and stock up Laughing

I have started knitting a scarf with it and it is sooooo soft and I'm liking how it knits up Wink
