Welcome Back
Before Christmas I saw the most beautiful yarns by James C Brett, called Marble Chunky and I fell in love with them. The search for wooden circular needles began and now I’ve found Knit Pro Basix and got some in 6mm size, I treated myself to a ball of Marble Chunky in colour MC 6.

Personally I find actual wool itchy, however soft/fine etc people tell me it is, it still feels itchy to me when I’m wearing it. The sad thing is until now I hadn’t found any pure acrylic yarn in such nice colours as are available in wool. There are sooo many beautiful colour ways in this yarn that if I get on ok with it, I’ll be collecting lots more of them. Here’s a better picture of the colours in the ball I bought.

What are you making?
Well I really liked the Delores Cowl found on the Sixoneseven blog, so I’m having a go at modifying the number of stitches to see if I can make it in the James Brett Yarn.

That is a gorgeous yarn, really like the colours. I can’t wear pure wool either it drives me mad with its itchiness! I was given two beautiful cardigans, well they are almost like coats, in pure wool and even with a polo necked, long sleeved sweater underneath they cause terrible itching. Such a shame as they are lovely and warm.

Hi Lynn
This yarn is lovely, not scratchy at all, its all acrylic and super soft. Check out the lovely colours in it too: http://www.jamescbrett.co.uk/yarns_marble_chunky.html
So much lusciousness
Like the look of M20 and M26..those sound like motorways!
