Handmaiden - Fleece Artist!

We had a shipment of Camelspin, Seawool and Casbah a little while ago, and I realised I hadn't blogged about it! All three yarns are available in the same colourways (I am still taking photos for Seawool and Casbah, but until they are up the camelspin photos are very comparable.

I made a swallowtail shawl out of one skein of camelspin - i had even some left over using the recommended needle size for the pattern. The yarn is gorgeous to knit with, silky, soft and luscious. I managed the nubs alright by splitting them in 3 then 2, kind of like a ssk method. The shawl is lovely, I've ravved it, but not blogged, so here are some photos:



The colourway is Moss, and is a very delicate lovely green. Pictures seem a bit more yellow though.

Also finished my Leaf Lace socks from Vogue Ultimate Socks in Knittery Waterlilies. These were gifted... though it was quite difficult to part with them. Beautiful colourway, and lovely to knit with. I really enjoyed the pattern - a quick knit these ones. I would say however that the ladder lace isn't ideally paired with this yarn - not very elastic. Next ones (for me!!) I'm going to knit a more elastic pattern for the back of the leg.
