This summer has been a slow one for yarn acquisition. In June, I splurged on €30 of wool from Phildar in France, but since then I’ve just been relishing in what I have. Perhaps now that I’ve been knitting a few months my standards have gone up or maybe I’ve just been too busy to shop. Whatever the reason, it was a treat to become the proud owner of two new hanks from Hedgehog Fibres. I can’t stop touching the stunningly soft Silk Worsted in Swamp and can’t wait to knit up the Silk/Merino Worsted in Opalite. The Opalite will be a hat for sure, but the Swamp Silk may become something a bit more creative.
Months ago, I would have debated buying Hedgehog Fibres yarn because of the $30/hank price tag, but now they’re just $23 per 100 grams of knittable love! But after I held and photographed Carol’s Silk Worsted and Sock-weight Cashmere/Merino, my fate was sealed. Of course, with delicious hues like Underworld and Lobster, who can resist?!
