Sublime Angora Merino
We had a wonderful evening and workshop recently with Clara Parkes, author of such great books as “The Knitter’s Book of Yarn” and the fiber wizard behind the Knitter’s Review. To speak with someone with such a breadth of knowledge (and who can use that info clearly and practically) is a real inspiration. We also had a great time showing her around the store, and to do our own “show and tell”. We were delighted when she zoned in on one of our favorites: Sublime Angora Merino. After stocking up at the store, Clara took this yarn home and really put it through its paces. She liked the results, and you can find her thoughts in detail in her review.
Here is why we love it: It’s soft-soft-soft. So soft in so many ways - from the colors to the touch to the look, it’s Sublimely Soft.
The proof is in the product: Staff have made some beautiful one skein lace hats to protect young folks heads. If you want to treat a baby right, this is THE way to go. But, it is equally divine for stylish adult creations. We’ve been talking about some of the creations in the Sublime Angora Merino book (such as pictured here) and are looking forward to some soft stuff around the shop as a result. But this amount of soft can’t be confined - we suspect that many folks will, as Clara suggests, take “calculated yarn risks” and use this wonderful fiber in all kinds of creations!
