I got 3 skeins of Fiesta Yarns La Luz. It's 100% silk, which I've not worked with before. I had second thoughts after getting home with this one because I failed to note the "dry clean only" instructions on the band before buying it, but I think it might make a nice shawl. I also bought 7 skeins of Berroco Ultra Alpaca Light and 6 skeins of Classic Elite Inca Marl.
While I was there, I checked to see if they had any Malabrigo Lace in stock because I want to make a couple of Jeweled Cowls as gifts. I hoped to find some red - and lo and behold they had Ravelry Red in stock! I also got a skein in the Paris Night colorway. I apologize for the bad photos but my camera sucks.
My mom, ever the sneaky one, also bought my some gorgeous Prairie by Madelinetosh. 840 yards of lacy goodness. The colorway is called Grellow, which describes it perfectly.
I don't know whether I'll use it on its own or with my other skein of Prairie in Byzantine.
Think I'll have to go on a yarn diet for a while.
Whoa! Great finds, Mia! It's not easy to find something discounted so much at Abuelita's!!
ReplyDeleteI made a Seraphina shawl out of Malbrigo Ravelry Red Lace. I wear it constantly!!
