Moroccan Mosaic – October Tiger Club Reveal

October had a double inspiration….this picture of Moroccan tiles, and a special fiber that came my way…..
Moroccan Mosaic - October Tiger Club - Blended Merino

This fiber started out as a blended Merino top….mostly pale blue, but streaked with darker blue, yellow, and red (the pale blue bit on the lower right is close to the original).  I love how over dyes look, it adds such life to the final product.  So, I layered orange and red and turquoise and navy over this Merino, which was a bit crowded and dyed dry so that it could act as a resist in spots, giving many tones of color and peeks of the original.  Want to complete the look and stretch this into a larger project?  Ply with a natural cream merino.

Moroccan Mosaic - October Tiger Club - Safari Sock Yarn

For the yarn, I wanted to have all the color represented, so I went for stripes.  This should make 4-5 row stripes on socks, the colors going back and forth and alternating with the cream.  I can’t wait to see how yours turns out.  If you want to further the mosaic theme, you might like to use this for a Fair Isle project.

I’m looking ahead to November, with December quick on its heels.  If you want these next couple of months, I have a couple of sock and a few fiber spots….sign up here.  I will not be accepting new subscriptions for December unless I have a late cancellation, I need to dye ahead because my family insists I not work during their school break!!  🙂
