YPF...................Summer Pudding??

This week's yarn is Summer Pudding. A Plushness yarn in Spring Squee Club yarn.

Intense rich pinks, just like summer fruit pudding!

I love M&S Clotted Cream Rice Pudding with Summer Fruit Pudding.

It's the only time I like rice pudding.............what would you eat with it?

YPF......................................Robber Fly

This week's YPF was received by me in a swap for the skein of Glaucon. A fellow raveller wanted that skein and had this to offer in exchange. I have had this on my wish list at the Loopy Ewe from Bugga was first released.

Bugga in Robber Fly

Very intense variations of pink

I think the colours are incredible in The Sanguine Gryphon's skeins

I am on the home stretch for my Pomatomuses which will allow me to cast on something simpler as well as quicker to knit! :)

YPF..............................Goldenrod Crab Spider

This is the second of the Bugga Lottery Skeins. Goldenrod Crab Spider. Again it is so soft!!




There are a lot of shades of yellow in this skein :) Destined for one of CookieA's new sock patterns I think..........later I will post a picture of my first Pomatomus sock.

YPF..............................Blue Morpho

This week's yarn pron is a skein I won the right to buy in a lottery. That's right, it is so popular that I entered a draw and was a lucky winner and got a prize - to buy this and one other skein. The yarn is Bugga by The Sanguine Gryphon and contains 20% Cashmere instead of the usual 10%. I knit some Embossed Leaves Socks out of my first skein of Bugga.

This skein is called Blue Morpho

Each colour is named after an insect

Fabulous depths and variations in this colourway

I an thinking of one of CookieA's patterns for this skein.....................

YPF.............................Droll

This week's stunning skein comes from a recent Posh Yarn update. The yarn is an old favourite Emily. The colourway is Droll. I was unsure as to why this particular name but saw this definition on my travels and am content that this may have been the reason.
–noun
2. a droll person; jester; wag.

The intensity of the colours is amazing!!

as is the variegation of colours.

The softness of this yarn is mindblowing

Just look at the rich depth, almost jungle/parrot like colours. Do you like?

YPF...................Orange Blossoms

This weeks skein is Orange Blossoms: a 4ply Merino Cashmere Sock yarn (new) by The Knittery. The Knittery has closed up shop in Australia and has moved to the US. The shop is closed until further notice so I snapped up this skein before Socktopus runs out of it altogether. The yarn is gorgeous to handle and makes lovely socks and shawls.

I love the rich fruity colours in this skein.

Don't you?

I feel like its a bowl of fruit salad like the chews of my childhood.

It looks so soft!!

And it is!!

I only wish I had the time to knit all the lovely patterns that would be perfect with this yarn. Here's one I fancy. What would be your first choice if it was your skein? :D

YPF........................glaucon

I love the dyed yarn that The Sanguine Gryphon produces. This weeks yarn is Eidos, a merino sock yarn. This colourway is Glaucon and I bought it at The Woolly Workshop. I think this was the last skein she had of SG yarns.

I love the intense colour changes in this skein.

I'm wondering how it will knit up

Something out of the new Sock Innovation by CookieA perhaps. Awesome book...........

YPF..............................More Pie!!

Skein Queen's Spring Pudding Club yarn: Plushness in Blueberry Pie.

The intense depths of the blues

Soft fluffy layers of sweet Blueberries with folds of sweet Chantilly cream!

Makes my mouth water................ :)

YPF.......................Orient

As promised, the second skein of the Wollmeise sock club. The pattern that they both are intended to create can be seen here. A daunting pattern but fabulous :)

The tones in this skein are amazing.

It is hard to catch all the variations in a few photographs.

Another fabulous Wollmeise masterpiece!! I haven't seen Claudia dye anything I don't love.

YPF.........................sock club yarn

This week's Pron is one of two skeins from the Wollmeise Sock Club. 100% Merino fingering weight yarn.

Colourway: Okzident

I love the greens/blues/teals in this skein.

This is for a sock design that has 2 colours in it, this and another colour.

I will post the other skein next week, they are both fabulous examples of Claudia's skill at dyeing yarn! I'm not sure that my skills are up to 2 colour work though, I seem to make a hash of it.........

YPF....................... Twilight Fanfiction Colours

Having read all 4 of the Twilight Series and the first 12 chapters of Midnight Sun I am engrossed in some Twilight fanfictions. In the course of reading online I came across this yarn and colourway. The colours are based on fanart for a fanfiction called WideAwake. It has rave reviews in the fanfiction world. I adore the combination of colours and the merino/cashmere/nylon blend in this skein and had it custom made for me. This is a sportweight and it is already on the needles becoming my 18th pair of Monkeys.

The Hand-dyed yarn is from Fresh from the Cauldron.

I love the way the colours work together!! It is so so soft.

Pictures will be up at the weekend of at least a half knitted Monkey sock in this, it looks well from my perspective. :)

YPF....................... Bluebells

This week's yarn pron is another sock yarn from the Sundara Seasons Club. I chose Spring if you remember and this is Bluebells.





I love it!!

YPF.....or pudding?

Pudding anyone??

This gorgeous skein arrived in the post this week. It is the latest installment of the Pudding club.

A beautiful skein of Apple Crumble.

I love the way these colours work together.

I like mine with icecream, how do you like yours?

I am getting another skein of this from a club member, crumble as a dessert was always a favourite of mine. :) How can I resist?
