I'm a sucker for novelty yarns, esp when I find them dirt cheap. The problem is, I have NO patterns for these yarns and they sit around in my yarn basket taunting me with their beautiful colors and funky textures!
I have two balls of beautiful d'anny blatt (France) yarn that I cannot figure out what to do with ... it was very expensive stuff and I scored both balls for a dollar, over a year ago. Here are the specs:
Weight: I suppose it's considered "fingering" weight, though it's a hair more substantial. Each ball is 50 g/100 m.
Fiber content: 63% viscose, 22% linen, 12% acrylic, 3% polyamide
Color: cream/oatmeal/earthy blue twist (not variegated)
suggested needle size : 9
The texture is like soft twine, which makes it impractical for any sort of clothing. I was thinking maybe a table runner? It's so beautiful, I really want to use it! Spam me with ideas/patterns PLEASE!
