Cat and Yarn

Since, the camera was out, I thought I would take pictures of my last yarn purchase. The yarn inspector showed up and thoroughly checked the yarn as you can see. Trinka is fond of rolling in any yarn or fiber that smells a bit like the animal it came off of.

The turquoise yarn is Super Due Merino, 1531 yards and 3.53 ounces. It is destine to be a shawl after some careful aging in the closet.

The bright blue is Punto Su Punto Filati Bamboo. Each ball has 137 yards for 1.75 ounces. It will be become a scarf.
This is the first bamboo, I have purchased. So, I am curious how it knits up.

The grey is Lace Mohair by Karabella yarns. It is 61% kid mohair, 8% wool, and 31% polymidic fiber (whatever that is). The ball has 540 yards for 1.75 ounces. I am thinking one of the scarfs out of Victorian Lace Today. The final decision will be made after checking yardages.

As you can see, the yarn inspector thinks the turquoise yarn is the best. She has to be watch. Really good yarn and fiber needs to be nipped which isn't permitted.
