Pearl (formerly known as Amy Friendly Yarn) by Lorna's Laces. Here's the story behind the yarn, quoted directly from Lorna's: "Amy Singer of knitty.com was in Chicago visiting family and made a stop here at Lorna's Laces. We were delighted to see her! The highlight for me was being able to hand deliver the Amy-Friendly yarn I dyed for her in the Amy's Vintage Office colorway.
Let me back up a little. I think most folks who know Amy know she's allergic to wool. And Lorna's Laces yarns all have at least some wool content. So, when I approached her about being part of our Color Commentary series I knew we wanted to dye some yarn for her that didn't have any wool. To do otherwise would have just been mean. Seriously. Can you imagine asking someone to help design a color and then tell them they don't get to have any?
So, while we were fine tuning the color I bought some Amy-friendly yarn. It's this gorgeous silk/bamboo blend. 51%/49%. It's beyond pretty. It has a great shimmer and is all soft and drape-y. Made me think of a dressy tank or a lacy shawl. Or even a clapotis. I'd like to wrap myself up in it!!" |
