i think it's koigu. i got this skein at KDO last year. it was wrapped up like a lollypop. i loved the avocado, coral, turquoise and brown hues and i snatched it up. i had to buy a pattern along with it (don't ask why) but i figured i'd make the yarn into a pair of socks.
i showed the yarn to my knitty friend the other night and she too loved the colors - but questioned if there was enough yarn for a pair of socks. good point. how about a pair of fingerless mitts, or a small scarf/shawl?
part of me doesn't even want to knit it up. doesn't that look like a scrumptious piece of sushi? i. love. those. colors.
That yarn is gorgeous! I think a pair of fingerless mitts would be perfect. That way you could see the yarn whenever you looked at your hands.
ReplyDeleteThat gives em an awesome idea - what if you took a shadow box, and filled it up with cakes of yarn? It would be such an awesome display - and yarns like this would be perfect!
ReplyDelete@ Karen - would you believe I put it back in my stash? Just couldn't knit it up! But if I do I'm thinking fingerless mitts - perfect project so I can admire the colors... :)
ReplyDelete@Alyssa - A shadowbox is a neat idea! I have a lot of stash that I know I won't knit/can't part with. It really would make a pretty display! Thanks for the suggestion! :)
