but recently i'm finding myself drawn to the strength and boldness of the color. MadelineTosh has a lot of gorgeous saturated shades, but this one just spoke to me. it's 2 skeins of Prairie in Lapis. It just glows. my photo doesn't do it justice. Prairie is kind of like malabrigo lace, but shinier, less fuzzy, and a smidgen less soft. it's very representative of superwash vs non-superwash merino, if that paints a better picture. i have a plan for this.
and then there is red. bold, fresh blood red. i love this color more than is reasonable. i keep trying to find this perfect shade in clothes, lipsticks, yarns, shoes, and i'm sure that i'll keep trying in the future.
this is malabrigo sock in ravelry red. (what's with the rav reference? isn't rav's colors mint green and pink?) this color is very similar to my first and more favored skein of skinny bugga in tomato frog. it was an impulse buy--i won't lie. i have no plan for this, but i'm sure i'll find something i love.
I always loved this shade of blue, but can't stand navy blue.
ReplyDeleteNot to be the cynic that I am or anything but...
ReplyDeletethey probably can't sell as much pink and mint green as this beautiful red, even with the Rav name on it.
Both beautiful yarns.
Hm, weird. I'd say it's too "red" to be that place's red. You're right a little more pinkish would be true.
ReplyDeleteI love that blue!
Those are pretty yarns.
ReplyDeleteThat blue is amazing. Love it!
