I don’t know about you, but I could use something fun and bright! This Flamingo Floatie brought a big grin to my face!
Finn, or more properly Finnish Landrace, is the fiber for February. Most notable of the breed it that they tend to throw ‘litters’ of 3-7 lambs, and are thus used in crossing some of the newer breeds of sheep to improve lambing numbers. The wool is on the fine side of medium, with high luster. I like this spun worsted to bring out the shine, but it’ll be happy with a woolenish spin, too. I know you are probably tired of hearing it….but make these colors do what you want!
Soft Sock is the yarn, 90/10 Superfine SW Merino and Recycled Nylon. I dyed this in a double down and back for stacking or spiral stripes, and let the yarn resist itself to bring in the blinding dapples of the sun. These will definitely be cheerful socks!
