Whenever I travel, I like to pick up some 'souvenir' yarn, and if it comes (whether spun or dyed) from the place I am visiting, so much the better. Now, I know I am stretching this concept a bit with this yarn - but then again, Canada is a pretty big country! Fleece Artist hails from Mineville, Nova Scotia - and I bought this skein from the Beehive Yarn Shop in Victoria, BC - about as far as you can get away from Nova Scotia and still be in the same country.
The yarn? Fleece Artist Trail Socks in the 'Fatrails' colourway.
It's a very skooshy feeling - and machine washable (probably my favourite trait in sock yarn)! It's mostly light and dark teal, but where the colours transition from one to the other there are hints of a purple. What shall I make with it...?
Anything.
ReplyDeleteMe, I just like to pick my Fleece Artist skeins up and squeeze it. Though I wear my 'Aegean' socks quite a bit.
the most obvious and a pair for the new baby!
