Ring of Lace Wrap
The New HeartStrings patterns arrived yesterday afternoon. I am testing a new colorway on silk bombyx and plan to use it to knit the Ring of Lace Wrap shown here. Wonder how fast it will dry?
I probably won't sell silk noil again as painting it is hard on my hands (massaging in the dye). But, silk bombyx is such a treat that I am considering it. This colorway I am currently designing will be in the Seashore Collection. So many colors that I would like to put in it!
Donna, the pattern includes instruction for adapting colorways that are longer or shorter than the 54" repeat in the model. I'm looking forward to trying it with my 72" repeats.
The centers of my life are my Christian faith and my dear husband. Recently, I closed my business and website, Heritage Yarns, that I established in 1994. Retirement is wonderful!

I look forward to seeing what comes out of your dyepot! Are you going to start selling silk again?

Oh, I love that pattern! Like a smoke ring, but bigger! So cool.
