New WIP

I've finished knitting all the pieces for the mohair cardigan. I just.need to sew it together and do the collar and button bands. No pic of it, yet.

Since I'm at the finishing point, it's time to cast on something new. I've decided a smaller project is in orderso I've cast on a new sweater for Zoey.


The rainbow yarn has a story of sorts.
 

 Recently I noticed that Temu, the discount online store, has yarn. Most of it is made in China.  I'm a curious person by nature, so I decided to order some of their 100% worsted weight Acrylic varigated yarn. It was very reasonably priced at the time. 

It's been a surprise! I love it. It's an amazingly good quality yarn. Well made, nice and soft to the touch, and a joy to work with. It comes in a lot of different color combinations, some exceptionally beautiful. Unfortunately, as I mentioned already, there's no label, and Temu doesn't provide the yardage in each skein. So I've taken an education guess. They're 100 gram skeins, which average about 200+/- yards for worsted weight yarn. 

I have noticed some of the other yarns have yardage in the descriptions. I have bought more of their yarn. They have variegated worsted weight wool too.


I'm planning to make another mohair cardigan, this one for me, in shades of purple. This will be one of the strands to go with the mohair. It comes with a label, but everything is written in Chinese. Rats.

Live long and prosper. \\//
