So anyhoo, while there The Loopy Ewe posted their weekly update…and wouldn’t ya’ know, it was Wollmeise….Now if you have not heard of Wollmeise, it is that mythical, fairy-butt yarn that everyone talks about…I have four skeins, two were gifted, one I traded for and one, I was lucky enough to purchase. (I friended someone who lived near the shop in Germany)
So I skeedadled over to The Loopy Ewe and purchased two skeins…all skeins were gone within about 30 minutes! I had a bit of trouble, as my account seemed nowhere, so I opened a new one…but I received the mythical yarn this week..
Ebenholz, a rich chocolate brown
Spinaci, a greens greenThe colors are just so saturated….I never want to undo the skeins, as they are so tightly wound….
See this swatch? Yup, it’s a swatch for my Nerd Wars dissertation….it’s about 4 x 5 inches and took me about 2 hours….damn knitting is so much slower than crochet! The yarn is Madelinetosh Merino Light in Moorland.

Knitting IS way slower, but that is a beautiful swatch!
The yarns look gorgeous. I still have a skein of wollmeise waiting for me to pluck up the nerve to unskein it!
Your swatch looks excellent, even if knitting is slow!
