First of all, can I express my amazement that Angela has managed to get pink, blue, purple, and green into one ball of yarn, and have it be such a lovely tonal? Everything from All For Love of Yarn comes in these special limited pooling colorways, and they are a delight to work with. You can have festive yarn and festive stitches, and be able to see both at the same time!
This specific yarn (Luminosity) is 70% superwash merino, 20% bamboo rayon, and 10% nylon. It has great drape and a lovely sheen to it (so great stitch definition!), and is holding up to all my frogging beautifully. It would make a really luscious pair of socks. One thing to remember about it is that bamboo rayon is still rayon, so it tends to squeak a bit on plastic needles/hooks. If that's the sort of thing that bothers you, you should use tools in a different material.
Also, that's the swatch for my upcoming Tea Party Stole, which is included in my book. It's turning out really pretty, isn't it? I love star stitch for showing off nice yarn.
Suddenly I'm glad I didn't tell you about this last night like I was going to (instead choosing to veg out in front of junk tv). I just found out that tomorrow is Angela's birthday, and so you can get 38% off any in stock purchase with the code BDAY38. Tomorrow only! Buy yarn! (I'm probably going to!)
