Sheep On My Stuff

A couple of weeks ago I heard about a 20% off sale on all of Ben Franklin's regularly-priced yarn. Since they stock a lot of yarn I like -- and I like yarn sales -- I went over and looked around at their stuff.

Schaefer Yarns makes some lovely handpainted wool, cotton, and wool/silk yarns, and until then I hadn't had an excuse to try out the wool/silk blend. I finally got the opportunity, because we had a combination of Sale! and SheepLad's Mom's Birthday!

And so I've been hanging onto pictures of this project for a while now, because I didn't want to spoil the surprise. Happy birthday in arrears to my wonderful mother-in-law, who is awesome. :)

Yarn used: Schaefer Yarns wool/silk in "Eleanor Roosevelt". Needles: 4mm.

It's a gorgeous scarf, and she seems to really like it. :) I might not work with this yarn again, as it was "un-plied" the same way the Soy Wool was, but it felt incredibly soft in my hands as I worked with it, and I'm very happy to have gotten a chance to try it out!
