A new project

I started a new cardigan and I'm very excited! I asked my friend Angelika to dye some yarn for me with long color repeats and the result is beautiful. The yarn is a lovely wool / bamboo blend and the colors are amazing, although a bit difficult to capture with my camera. I chose the Featherweight cardigan pattern and I'm having so much fun - the stripes are perfect! I can't wait to wear this!

Ξεκίνησα ένα καινούριο ζακετάκι και είμαι πολύ χαρούμενη! Ζήτησα από τη φίλη μου Angelika να μου βάψει νήμα που να κάνει μεγάλες ρίγες και το αποτέλεσμα είναι πανέμορφο! Το νήμα είναι υπέροχο, μαλλί με μπαμπού και τα χρώματα είναι απίστευτα, αν και λίγο δύσκολα να τα βγάλω φωτογραφία. Διάλεξα το ζακετάκι Featherweight και το απολαμβάνω πάρα πολύ - οι ρίγες είναι τέλειες! Ανυπομονώ να το φορέσω!

    hand-dyed yarn from a friend will make this sweater all the more special when it's finished! and i love hannah fettig's designs, so i'm sure it'll look amazing.

    Those colors scream Mediterranean, your friend is a very talented dyer. I would love to have a cardi in those colors because it would light me up on cold autumn days.
