Back last year Loulee sent me a bag of Wendy Moiselle that she wasn't able to use. I looked around and found a pattern and have eventually got round to knitting it up. Once I started, it didn't take too long to do.
It's quite an unusual yarn, fibre wrapped in ribbon which makes for an interesting texture.
A twisted cord is used for fastening. The boys faces were a picture when I made the cord. It was if I had performed a magic trick. Nice to know I can surprise them from time to time.
Wow that's lovely - Mum's can do anything :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous colour and unusual texture. Don't you love it when kids are blown away by what Mum's can do.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great - love the colour.
ReplyDeleteI bought some of this yarn recently in the Atkinson's sale - what's it like to knit with? I only bought four balls, so I won't be making anything as impressive as your waistcoat though.
Love the color of this one! Well done! :0)
ReplyDeletewow what a strange wool! I think I would be impressed by twisted cord too lol
ReplyDeleteThat's some beautiful fiber there, Jane. I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Looks like it would hard to use, but I guess you didn't find that to be true. Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove the texture of this fiber!
ReplyDeleteI love this - gorgeous colours. Reminds me of honey & toffee... or that crunchie bar. Looks all touchy-feely too. :0)
