Just as I suspected.
Gorgeous yarn.
Elann has developed this yarn called DEVON. It is 100% unshrinkable wool...so soft...really, really soft.
The colours are beautiful! Perfect for fair isle knitting.
Oh and for socks...yes! Beautiful textured socks.
Here is a swatch I knit up last night. It will be one of the christmas hats for my nephew...obviously for the one who is into star wars.
I haven't washed the swatch, I just did a quick steam iron on it. I'll let you know how it washes and how the swatch wears....
So far...I am loving this yarn!
P.S. please don't buy it all!

You are mean.
I love those colours, all of them.
I need to go figure out some reason of why I need them all for "Christmas gifts."
Mean I tell ya!!
Good thing I didn't join the summer of the stash.
Oh, how cool! I might have to try to case it and make a hat for DH.
I can't wait to see the finished product!
Oh my goodness. Hubby just walked by and said "Cool! What is that?" "It's a swatch for a hat." "You could make me one." Then son and daughter came over to see what was going on. Son,"R2D2! R2D2!" Daughter, "Oh, I want one!"
So, that's three R2D2 hats I need to knit. *sigh*
Very cool, I can't wait to see the finished product.
Where! Where from where is that graph please?!
too cute!
You temptress! Who can resist such a beautiful basket of soft yarn!?
