New collection and I am EXCITED! I am also in love, I’ve found my soulmate and it seems only right to share this happiness. Here is a preview of The Soulmate collection which will be open for pre-orders soon!
Two colours in The Soulmate collection - Silver grey and hot fuschia. Did I have to swatch so much? No! I was just enjoying using it too much to want to stop.
Swatch - light fingering base & Suri cloud laceweight held double on 2.5mm needles
The Soulmate collection is so named because never have two yarns been so perfect for each other, both a delight to use on their own this mix of light fingering 100% superwash Merino and Suri Alpaca & Silk laceweight combines into more than a sum of it’s parts - the fabric made is light, has beautiful drape, is so so so soft, squishy, warm (seriously, you have to feel it to believe it) and has a wonderful subtle halo. For the swatch I was using 4 strands in total and not once did they tangle, catch or misbehave in any way - when I say this is heavenly it’s not hyperbole.
This is the pinnacle of luxury and I would be amazed if you don’t fall in love with it too.
If it’s so good together why have I left them as separate skeins? Excellent question! Because I’ve dyed them to be able to mix and match your base colour and lace colour. You can choose the effect you want. They mix absolutely amazingly and give such an interesting result. Usually in colourwork the prominent colour is the strand held in front, with this mix the prominent colour is the laceweight.
Here are photos of the results you get using the different mix and match options. The colours available in the collection will be:
-
Doves are only pigeons with good PR (Silver grey)
-
Anthracite (Black)
-
Eternity Rose (Rich red)
-
The Queen Sessions - I want to break free (Hot Fuschia)
-
Kingfisher (Teal)
I could extol the virtues of this collection all day, it really has been a while since I have been so pleasantly surprised at a plan coming together and delivering so much and this truly is everything I hoped it would be and more. A delight to use, a joy to wear, an endless pleasure to touch and truly beautiful in the flesh, it’s everything wonderful about both with the added magic that makes it into something greater.
