I've gone for other brands of sock yarn and so far avoided anything that would make bold stripes in the weft. <br /><br />Tip for Dave, I think undulating twill may be better with a closer sett than the 2-2 twill I used before. I used the same sett as Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488670649558382921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825758438498694806.post-2390272208177774112009-05-01T12:32:00.000+01:002009-05-01T12:32:00.000+01:00Your sample of the undulating twill is very inspir...Your sample of the undulating twill is very inspiring.

The variations in tone really make it and the undulations show up very well. <br />We too are having a sad spring - about 10 degrees C below our usual and lots of grey skies. I have my tomatoes ready to go in the ground and the nights are just too cold right now, so they are blooming in the green house!<br /><br />Spinning is such a lovely way to spend a Lynnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459520887792560982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825758438498694806.post-14611753049036670372009-04-29T16:39:00.000+01:002009-04-29T16:39:00.000+01:00I think the scarf is beautiful.

We have a John Lewis in southampton which sells classy yarns though not sure about Noro.deborahbeehttp://deborahbee.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825758438498694806.post-26178815590279086362009-04-29T15:02:00.000+01:002009-04-29T15:02:00.000+01:00Love the chocolate scarf.
