Pink Rose Yarn

Pink Rose Yarn

In preparation for Paris and  Aiguilles en Fete next weekend and thinking about Valentines Day approaching, I went a little crazy one night and dyed up a lot of pink yarn. Isn’t it pretty? I love pink and think it looks good on everyone. The rose tones I created above are available in 1) Sock  -merino/cashmere and stellina and a merino high twist 2) Lace alpaca,silk cashmere and sparkly merino/silk and ultra fine merino and BFL/silk. There’s 3-4 skeins per type.

There’s also new Silk with Sequins yarn in pink and a really good red and I still have some light pink  silk yarn with beads left.

Wear Pink!

Knitted Lampshades

Posted on September 15, 2010 by ehdknits

Usually most say knitting is not the most economical way to get what you want.In this case , I think not. If these appeal,get out the 9-12mm  and your chunky yarn and go-

Available online for a mere £215-475.

As reported in Daily Candy London this am :  “Made from thick wool sheared from sheep in the remote Alpine valleys of Tyrol and then knitted in Holland, these adorable hanging lamps come in two sizes and colours (off-white and raspberry). The wool is treated to make it fire resistant (phew) and repellent to moths and other insects that have a tendency to munch through knitwear. ”

If i put these around the house- it may be the final straw ( or strand ) for my family.
