I love Karen cashmere sock yarn.
I love all my yarns, and here is why I adore Karen mcn (merino/cashmere/nylon): it is beyond soft, and since it has nylon, you can actually make socks from it. Not that I would. It's way too pretty for my feet. This is prime yarn for scarves and shawlettes, and mitts, and cowls, and OK, socks too.
I dyed yarn yesterday morning. The Hubbo was off on his garage sale expeditions, and it seemed a good moment to play with color. I set out to dye autumn colors and pastels, but you know those dyes; they have a mind of their own. I did get some lovely muted blues and teals and an antique rose, but then the dyes took over, and I have a lovely collection of rosiness and pinkies, too. While I had my back turned, an amber colorway sneaked out into the dyepot. What can I tell you? I have no control here. I can't repeat these colorways except for Summer's Last Rose. I happily mixed and poured and played and don't ask me how I did it because I don't know.
The roses: American Beauty
Cherie Rose
Charming Rose
Muted Roses
Summer's Last Rose
The Blues: Black Forest
Sleepy Meadow
Waves
And Amber:

Otherwise, wait until I put them up on Etsy. http://fritzl.etsy.com
Scrabblequeen - Karen yarn is $25 + the usual first class shipping of $3. It's more than my usual yarns because it costs me considerably more. It really is gorgeous and worth the money, and you know I'm cheap.
Swooning over Summer's Last Rose. What was the price on that?
