Today, I was helping my mother pick some yarn for a project. It's been a while since she's picked up needles but she decided she needed something to keep her hands busy.
She found yarn for her project and I found this...
Yarn. Made from milk fibre. I haven't figured out exactly how yet. And I needed to try some of it. Has anyone else given this a go?
And it knits beautifully. So very soft, too. I'm tinkering with a pattern I've used before but making it wider and using slightly smaller needles. I think it'll be a new spring scarf for me. I'll let you know how it turns out and if I ever stop craving cookies....
(Viking of Norway - Pure Milk Fiber in Light blue. I'd tell you more but it's all in Norwegian.)
it looks lovely! that is weird though. I didn't know milk had a fibre in it. maybe they're just making it up because it makes it sound like it would be soft?
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere once that milk protein was what the original plastics were made from. Odd, huh? I wonder if this is something similar.
ReplyDeleteThe scarf-embryo is gorgeous. Almost makes me want to take up knitting.
I have no idea about the fibre, but the color is out of this world beautiful. Love that smoky grey blue. Yum.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful all around -- the color and the (almost) scarf.
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by this yarn...I'll have to search it out at some of the local stores here
ReplyDeleteThat color is excellent!
