May’s Tiger Club took a trip to the Tuscany region of Italy…..here are some ‘snapshots’ of our trip…..
You can see the recurring colors of blue, gold, rusty orange, green, and a bit of grey. I captured and interpreted those in wool.
Our yarn is a return of an old favorite…Bengal. It is 100% Superwash BFL, and is 4 ply for a nice round yarn, yet thin for socks that have a chance of fitting in regular shoes. I dyed variegated in the round, so the yarn will spiral and make mini stripes.
Our wool is Falkland combed top. Falkland is a location as opposed to most wools which are named after their breed. Sheep on the Falkland Islands are breed for fine and very white fiber. Due to the isolated location, the sheep do not need the pesticides many other sheep need, making Falkland an more natural choice.
I hope you enjoyed our trip! For June and July, we will be exploring Hot and Cold. You can still sign up, new subscriptions to Tiger Club are open through Saturday, June 15th.
