Twistfibre have just got this in and it's absolutely gorgeous!!! It is wool and bamboo, though it feels a bit like Rowan Cocoon ie as though it has a bit of mohair in like Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride too. Very soft and silky and amazing rich colours. Not too expensive for hand dyed @ £6.99 for 100g and it comes with a free jumper/cardi and hat pattern for children and adults I think.

You can see it on the Colinette site here . Very tempted to try it - if I buy a skein I'll let you all know Wink

OMG

There are at LEAST 4 shades that are going straight onto my wishlist - but I don't know what I'd make with it!!
I'm struggling to find the weight or yardage!! Embarassed

It talks about a free pattern with the yarn - but I cant see how much you need for thatt either which would be helpful

Something about yardage here - it's aran weight.

No details of the pattern - if you email Colinette I'm sure they can let you know cazzie - Twistfibre hadn't got them in when I was last there.
