First time using my Dyakcraft Nickel Northern Lights tips; very nice … not too slippery nor too grippy. Long tail cast on using ends from both skeins and then dropping their combined slip knot as an unneeded extra stitch afterwards; knitting scarf alternating skeins every two rows because while their colours/colour intensity are perfectly matched one skein’s runs of magenta/pink are visibly longer than the other’s.

This yarn is deeply, intensely purple but digital camera persists in seeing it as much bluer than it really is; have done my best with colour correction in the top photo and that’s still a pale ghost of how purple this yarn is. Bound off ages ago; finally got ‘round to weaving in ends and blocking.
