DK Panda Silk New Colors!




these gorgeous colors will be here soon!
i enjoy the DK Panda Silk for a quicker knit. on #4 for foot and #3 or #2.5 for heel and foot, it is a great quick sock!
i'm working on a sock now with Sahara and Cafe Mocha

lovely new yarns from CPY

This fun new hat was knit with the new Lofty Wool from Crystal Palace yarns, in "fudge brownie"
and ivory.
you can see these colors and more HERE LoftyWoolColors
the yarn is very yummy,
and is a fun relatively quick knit...
in fact, since it has some nylon, it will also make cozy socks and i've got one almost done in the Rose musk colorway!
