Take two
So the slipper was progressing nicely. It looked lovely, and I’m totally taken with the cable.
Alas the yarn, while beautiful, really isn’t quite thick enough for what I want these to feel like (not the yarn’s fault, it’s beautiful, it’s just not meant to be the bottom of a slipper). So more yarn was obtained, and the next version of the slipper is underway.
Not sure you could ask for a closer match on color, and it looks like it will be a tiny bit sturdier and thicker. The yarn is new to me, but it certainly sounds interesting (and it has the most beautiful halo). Anyone else worked with it?
RIMU=Heaven!
I’m totally loving it so far!
This is one of my favourites for socks. REALLY sturdy with all the luxuriousness you could want. They get better with wearing and washing. Make sure you take before and after photos when you (machine) wash the first time. The burst of halo/fibres is amazing – yet somehow the stitch definition isn’t lost.
Oh awesome, that’s super encouraging, thanks!
