The rug from the last post has been finished. will post pics, hopefully.

My yarn smells like dingleberries.

My lovely friend in New Mexico gifted me some weaving yarn for my birthday.
2 skeins from www.handweavers.com/

The colors of the yarn are great and are from natural dyes.

Skein 1: Dk Bacterial Indigo
Skein 2: 2BA Osage Orange over light bacterial Indigo

Love the colors, strongly dislike the dingleberry scent.

I've decided to knit a rug with the yarn. I will be using the "short-row pinwheel" pattern from Barbara Walker's "A Fourth Treasury of Knitting Patterns"
