Twenty skeins of this gorgeous green wool came in the mail today! The yarn is from Ireland, aran weight, and as it says on the label “natural feeling”…in other words, it’s 100% wool, and not really soft enough for next-to-the-skin wear. But it is surprisingly soft. I can’t wait to see how it knits up!
I’m going to try to resist the temptation to do anything more than swatch for Rogue, though, since I’m trying to finish mystery knit 2…
There aren’t enough hours in a weekend, even when you take Friday off and make it a three-day weekend. But at least I managed to get some travel shopping done today — just a couple more things to find, and a couple of pairs of pants to shorten (yay) and I can start packing for Italy!
