Two fun new hanks of yarn with beads. This is called Mango Moon Chakra. These hanks are only 75 yards, little pricey to buy lots at $25.00 each..........but looky looky. I love them, and the colors are divine in my opinion. Got these last wk-end in Port Clinton at a fabulous yarn shop I highly recommend called "Just For Ewe". I wasn't going to do anything with them until I finished a few projects............wasn't is the key word here.
The orange here doesn't show up as well as it does in the first photo. Must have been my lighting. Anyway, couldn't stand it; so got the 2 hanks now rolled; which means their ready.........right? lol How many projects should one have going at the same time? Is there a limit? I think NOT!Now I mentioned the price being a bit pricey at $25.00 for only 75 yards/69m...but, this is hand spun in Indonesia and according to the label provides safe shelter, health care and education to families in Nepal and Indonesia. I need to check into the cause I bit more, but wanted to pass that along to you. Things like that make a big difference to me on how I spend my money. AND Christi at the shop was wearing a green-purple version of this yarn in a skinny necktie of sorts that really only needs 1 hank.............so. Stay tuned for when this stash turns into a WIP (work in progress for my non knitters and crocheters) and a FO (finsihed object).
The label goes onto say: 30% recycled viscose, 66% cotton, 3% spandex, 1% beads/stones. Love that part of it is recycled!
HI SANDY,
ReplyDeleteWOW!! THIS IS A FIRST FOR ME, HOW DIFFERENT. I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE HARD TO WORK WITH, BUT THEN YOU ARE REALLY GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO. WELL, GOOD LUCK, I KNOW YOU WILL MAKE SOMETHING OUTSTANDING. RIZZI
It's beautiful! Is this the yarn you were talking about??
ReplyDeleteBeautiful yarn Sandy. $25.00 is pricey for yarn but,if a good portion of it goes to doing something good then you can feel good about getting it.
ReplyDeleteWill be looking forward to seeing what you make with it.
