Angora linen sweater b.jpg
I had a lot of white angora yarn, but not enough for an entire sweater.  I finally decided to create this sweater using the 100% angora for the bodice and 100% linen for the off-the-shoulder sleeves.  To give it some more panache, I added the knitted bobble clusters of grapes made out of the linen with angora leaves and vines.  It looks fabulous with a long black skirt and a strand of pearls.

I have bought some yummy new yarns in the past few months to the HORROR of my husband.  I have to be a good girl now and not buy any more yarn. 


This was actually a birthday gift from my parents.  60/2  100% silk lace yarn

5886 yards


Great Adirondack Yarn, Funky rayon ribbon yarn, Color:  Starburst, 100 yards

Claudia Hand Painted Yarns, 20/2 Silk Lace Yarn, Color: Country Kitchen, 1100 yards


Scalamandre 100% silk yarn, impossibly thin - hairlike yarn.  YIKES! ???? yards

Claudia Hand Painted silk yarn on left (20/2 weight), Cream 100% silk yarn in center (60/2 weight) and the ridiculously thin hair-like Scalamandre silk on the left (no idea but I'm afraid to touch it).
