Notes

December 10, 2014
I put this through the washer and dryer and blue yonder and inkwell both felted! Both of these yarns were thicker than the rest (makes me wonder if they were wool of the Andes?). Rest of it is fine and fuzzy - normal for the yarn.

I’m really not liking what I’m seeing with the yellow. It might be the orange (the orange this color replaced would have worked better with the yellow I think) or there’s a murky tone in the yellow that’s throwing it off. But the yellow it replaced seemed it wouldn’t have been bright enough for the blanket. I wish I had thunderhead and nevermore to use - from what I’m seeing if my stripe widths, I might need the extra yarn.
