I’ve been intending to knit with this yarn since October. It’s a new base, not to be released for a few more months, but I felt selfish and ordered several skeins to test knit into a sweater. I dyed the yarn a cement gray, and then proceeded to ignore it until very recently. Handwinding skeins is a not-so-secret knit-fetish of mine when I get a new yarn (lace excluded); I like being able to really get to know the hand of the yarn before I even swatch it.
I’m 3/4 of the way done with this sweater, with 5-6 inches left on the body and the sleeves remaining. I’m excited! If all goes according to plan you’ll be able to get a glimpse of this new base in person at Stitches West.
