Silk Boucle! Pics and a poll:

My internet connection has inexplicably expired, so I am messaging you all from the bleak and desperate Land of Dial-Up. I had more pictures to share with you, but I'm only able to upload these (at least they're something, right?).

This week I painted up some silk boucle:



(Left to right, the colourways are: Japanese Maple, Hotel California, Haystacks, Rivendell, Atropos, and Water Lilies.) This silk boucle is truly soft and gives an interesting, almost pointillist aspect to the resulting fabric (think Georges Seurat's La Grande Jatte or this coastal scene by Theo van Rysselberghe).

So, here's my question for you all: what say you? Would there be any interest if I added this as a new line of hand-painted yarn? Each 90-yd skein (that's 50 grams, to those of you who count that way) knits up well on US 6's.

(and now back to our regularly scheduled eye candy...)



Happy Knitting, all!
