WIP


I have started my first project for Tunisian crochet. It's a mobius wrap called Mystifying Embrace on the cover of this book :



This is my progress so far and it is slanting towards the right :


40% Bamboo 40% Merino 20% Nylon
Colour: Sage

I chain 68 instead of 80 because I only have 2 hanks of this sage colour yarn totalling 700 metres. It now measures about 13 inches for the width. Looks like it's going to be a small wrap.  Hopefully after blocking it will be bigger and solve the slanting problem.

More New Yarn Base

Fresh from my dye pots are these new yarn base of Falkland British Merino in DK and fingering weight :


Almond Sensation 


Chartreuse


The Bold and Beautiful

Top three photos are Dk weight, 246 yd/100 gm hank.  The following are fingering weight, 4 ply yarns with good yardage of 438 yd/100 gm hank.


Carrot Milkshake


Pink and Turquoise Dream Catcher


Rustica


Sea Of Love


The Dark Knight

This new yarn base is so soft and springy. The yarn is round with a high twist and produces a beautiful stitch definition. You will love to knit in this luxurious blend and the fabric is just so squishy, great for next to skin wear with a lovely slight sheen to it!

I have also restocked Bambaroo, 40% Bamboo 40% Wool 20% Nylon fingering weight, 4 ply yarns.


Lilac Yellow Silver


Orchid


Redwood


Classic Rose
