I knit up a some of Pat Fly’s (Fly Designs) hand painted Cashmara Lace Weight last week.

80% Superwash Merino  10% Cashmere  10% Nylon;  590 yds/4 oz.  Machine wash and dry.

Here are some samples:

Cashmara Lace -Paas - Small

Paas contains very pastel colours of the rainbow.  A subtly beautiful yarn.  You know I normally photograph on a white background but I couldn’t capture these colours without either their fading  or my white background turning dishwater grey!

No doubt there is a way to photograph gentle pastels on white, but I caved and trotted out my black background cloth!

Cashmara Lace - Watermelon - Small

The Watermelon theme was a great one to knit for 2011 as the base colour of watermelon in this tone is Pantone’s colour of the year – Honeysuckle.

Woop!

This is a delightful yarn to knit – flows through the sock knitter like butter. And, you know knots are inevitable – they will show up somewhere sooner or later – but in 2 kilos I didn’t hit a single one!

Another Woop!
