Here is parcel number four from the Ravelry blog swap (seven parcels opened over seven days, my parcels gifted by Fiolinn in Norway). Unfortunately, this is one of a few parcels that wobbled around a bit in transit and so had escaped most of its wrapping. Still, here's the label...
And the contents:
Two skeins of 123 Luna Wool - a 100% wool worsted weight yarn - as Fiolinn says, ideal for felting. Now felting is one of those things on my knitting to-do list and I do have a few felted patterns in my queue/favourites, some of which could be achieved with one or both of these skeins:
- French Press Knit's 'French Press Felted Slippers'
- Jeri Riggs' 'Felted Fabulous Hat'
- ScullyKnits' 'Highland Wool Felted Bags'
- Liat Gat's 'Pentafold Felted Mobius Bowl'
Of these, the French Press Felted Slippers is easily a favourite - I've loved these slippers since I've seen them and I think the blue yarn would suit them perfectly.
I think I feel a project coming on... thanks for the prompting (and the yarn) Fiolinn!
I do love a good felting project and you have given me a couple of new patterns to try. That yarn looks lovely - what a lucky blogger you are.
ReplyDeleteFiolinn did some good stalking on that one, then :-)
ReplyDeleteHehe, I am glad it is to your liking. Such a shame that the wrapping has come off though, I am so sorry for that!
ReplyDeleteOhhh lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe slippers are totally cute! And thanks for linking to my felted bowl! Happy felting,
