    My biggest concern is yardage for sweaters. I wanted a colour work sweater so picked Marshland so I can use different colours and make my MC go farther. I have knit the yoke and both sleeves so the length will depend on how much MC I have left. Looking promising so far…fingers crossed!

    Love the men’s cabled hat. What pattern did you use? Northwards??

    I love your posts and have knit your socks, but I am mostly hand weaver. I have had good luck using 2-ply handspun in both warp and weft. My favorite combination in half handspun (every other end) in the warp and the rest KPPPM Koigu. I get two kinds of variation from the dyed in the wool handspun and space dyed Koigu.

    Thank you for your inspirational posts. I save them all.
