"Un cadeau de Paris"

- a gift from Paris!

One om my French readers, a lady from Paris, and test knitter of my Ginger Bread Mittens, Marguerite, has sent me a gift. It's a lovely recycled silk yarn from Nepal, that a friend of hers is selling, Namaste Sathi.

It's such a lovely yarn, beautiful colours. I have to think very carefully to decide what to make. Some kind of scarflette? Or a contrasting colour on a summer tee? Ideas, anyone?

Babben sa...: For noen herlige farger! Dette må jo bare bli "prikken over i'en" på noe... så jeg stemmer for noe til halsen tror jeg. Tenk deg den fargeklatten til et ellers grått/svart kjedelig antrekk... Fortsatt god strikkepåske :-); 22. april 2011 kl. 15:42
Mary Lou sa...: I have used that type of yarn - tricky because it has no give. It works great as a contrast with another yarn.; 22. april 2011 kl. 15:45
Yarndancer sa...: Lovely yarn! I'll be interested to see what you make of it - I have some in my stash that I'm puzzling over :); 23. april 2011 kl. 21:25
