This week I’ve been mostly…

…glistening.

I’ve been amassing a shelf full of Glisten over the past couple of months.  I dye these in a different way to everything else, and they sit and marinate when I’m dyeing other stuff.  Thought it was about time they saw the light of day!

There’s a whole rainbow of new colours, and here are some of them….

G7041-c-1 G7046-c G7034-c

G7033-c G7029-c-1 G7036-c

The yarn is 100% silk, and at 400m per 50g, one skein is enough for a lacy scarf.  I’m currently working on a Laminaria in the small size in colour 7030.  The pattern says you will need all 400m, so I put an extra skein by just in case, and I’ll let you know if it needs it!  Here it is so far..

Pretty, huh?
