I dithered for ages before succumbing to Kemps' special offer on this, but I'm so glad I did Very Happy

It's one of the softest, cosiest yarns I've knitted. Nice even tension, lovely to work with on Brittany Birches Very Happy

I'm using shade 5 which they describe as brown/navy & I admit looked dull on their screen, but is a riot of autumnal shades & I love it Very Happy

I have some I got a while ago (not from Kemps) in a sort of tawny orange/dusky pink shade which sounds hideous but is actually lovely!! I'm making the Siena Cardi from Interweave Fall 2006 (I think). It's a similar guage and colour. It is a little bit like Jaeger Shetland in feel Razz

i also bought some of this from Kemps 4 balls Charcoal and 4 balls of Silver Grey, it is truly lovely. I have knitted a neck warmer with the charcoal and i really love it (cant wear it till the rash goes), think i will do another with the silver.

That's a lovely pattern Jessica, i bet you're peed off you can't wear it at the moment Sad

Still, it'll keep you warm next week when it snows and your rash has gone Wink
