Orenburg is here!

Orenburg yarn is in the building and looking very scary! It's a beautiful medium purple and has 600+ yards to a 50gram hank. It's 80% kid mohair, 20% silk and I have to say, it feels quite harsh in the hank.

On the distributor's website the advice is given not to use a swift or ball winder but to drape the skein over your arm and wind off by hand.I guess the yarn must be temperamental and respond better to gentle handling - rather like myself! Pictures tomorrow.

Check out my favourite blogs in my listing - these will be added to as time permits.

Happy knitting!
