The strand seems to be made from felted beads, very soft and somehow reassuring -- a bit like the traditional Mongolian round shelter, made from felt, the YURT. This yarn has a very pleasing hand, in perfect weight for any cool weather garment. YURT also seems like the perfect start for an inventive felted expression.
