A Marriage of Silk and Wool…they are perfect match!

I think I fall in love with this combination…
No matter the Lorna’s Lace Lion and Lamb or the Silk blend from Manos, or the Grace (silk and wool blend) by Louisa Harding, they are all great in touch, texture and weight.

Because of the silk, it’s so soft to touch, and the fiber of silk has a sheen on it.
Because of the wool, it gives you the warmth and add the weight for your garment.

I am working on few projects with SILK…

the Sea silk shawl for my friend, Angel; the Lorna’s Laces Lion and Lamb Argosy for myself, and the Cameo Shawl for my sister. They are all silky and luxury.

Here is the picture of the Cameo Shawl, I just started it few days ago:

I got the yarn from ebay (most of them) and online store.

They are luxury , but worth to get some for yourself and your friends and family.

I think , it’s the best gift for the people you love.

I am falling in love again, yes, with the sea silk…

After I finished the Shetland Triangle with the Merino yarn, I started another one with handmaiden Sea silk.
IT’s sooooo beautiful.

Touch: soft, silky….

result: looks extremely shiny, elegant, luxury with lace pattern. Unlike the merino wool, the yarn is very strong and won’t ‘curl up’ on the edge of the shawl. It’s firm and inelastic, I like the result of that, it looks great!

This yarn is beautiful, with its brilliant shimmer, and relaxed drape, I am sure it will look great for this shawl pattern!
I made this for my best friend, Angel. I wish she will love it!

Handmaiden Sea silk: bought this from our local store, Romni Wool Ltd.

Colorway: Bronze.
