The Yarn Spot has a special colorway that is native to the store called Pansy. Pansy is lovely, but not quite the color I’d want to work a big project in. I’m not quite sure I’d be happy with the type of pooling it would do. BUT, Pansy has a friend, Pansy Green, that I really like. It’s a cheerful color, full of pop and verve.
I got a bunchload of it, the first time we had it in stock. The next time we re-ordered Pansy, it was MUCH darker, and while I like the new dye lot also, I think this one suits me more. At the time, I was thinking of working a cardigan, and I still am. However, when I bought the yarn I was nearly 30 lbs heavier, and well, I don’t think I’ll need as much as I got to get around me now. Just sayin’.
Anyway, I have some ideas of combining this with two other greens I have for TIG in Kells to create some type of Irish/Shamrock themed sweater. Details to follow, but I think it is going to have to be steeked, to get my idea the way I want it.
For now, I’ll just admire it every time I pull it out.
