A couple of months ago, I promised a friend that I would knit a wedding shawl for her. It would be light and lacy and glorious! I sent her a picture of the pattern that I was considering, she loved the pattern, and so I set myself to finding the perfect yarn. And I found it. It is Shibui Silk Cloud and it is light and delicate and fuzzy and has an amazing halo and I love it!
Also
It is SO WHITE (I got the colourway Ivory)
Never have I felt such apprehension taking out my knitting project. Or eating near my knitting. Or eating food in the same room that I knit. Unlike other yarns that I have knit, this yarn strikes me as one that will not stand up to any sort of scrubbing, which means that any stains are pretty much irreversible. Therefore, even though I love this project with all my heart, it cannot be my go-to project anywhere outside my home. I guess this just means I have another WIP to add to my collection!
