New Yarns

I've been shopping from the stashes of other Ravelry members and have found some yummy yarns to buy. 

 Knitpicks Gloss DK, 70% merino, 30% silk. This is just a yummy yarn to knit, and it has a bit of a shine to boot. Here it is now in combination with Boku (95% wool, 5% silk) as I knit a new jacket.

And I found a gal who loves this yarn as much as I do, and luckily, she allowed me to have 7 skeins from her stash of over 60!!! It is 50% merino, and 50% wool. Both are wools of course, but the merino is the softest wool ever, so I like to have it in my knits.

 This is a new yarn to me, Noro Janome, which is 60% silk and 40% wool. Here's another view of this yarn:

I'll be pairing this with a solid color yarn, so that the unusual colors here will be amplified.

I really like Noro Silk Garden yarn and was happy to find one person willing to part with these two lots.

45% silk, 45% mohair and 10% wool. 

 I had one of these skeins leftover from another project and was happy to find 5 more that were in the same color. More silk garden! Yay!

And I have just ordered this yummy yarn from a Raveler, Mirasol Tupa, 50% silk and 50% merino. 

Look for these new yarns to be garments in the coming months.
