Field trip
Went on a yarn field trip last week…needed some stuff to play with my newly developed obsession with two color brioche.
The dark purple bit of lovely is Shibui Knits’ Silk Cloud in Velvet. The fluff in plastic is two disks of Lopi’s Plötulopi, one in white and one in purple, but I don’t see color names. And the other goodness is Malabrigo’s Lace in Natural (white), Polar Morn (gray), Archangel (pink), and Whale’s Road (blue).
And no, they’re not all getting used together! The Shibui is probably going with the light purple stuff I got from Martin’s Lab a few weeks ago (there’s a swatch of it if you look back a few posts). The Malabrigo stuff will probably get paired off (not sure which with which just yet…there will be swatching). And the Lopi I want to try doing brioche with…not sure how it will come out, but I’m interested to see.
Odd – I went looking for Archangel and none of them were that combination of pinks! Much darker, sort of rust and dark brown.
Is yours Color no 850?
Yup! Malabrigo is…ah…highly variable. That and different bases take colors different ways. That’s part of the reason I try to always buy my malabrigo in person (you know…that and going to yarn stores is fun)!
Beginning to suspect that the reason you were resistant to brioche for so long isn’t because you thought it was difficult but because you knew it’d become an instant addiction. 😉
This…this may well be true…
