Since the first order we received last year I have made 4.5 projects using the yarn. 2 were linen stitch scarves, 1 sock and 1 Turkish bed sock.
What draws me to this yarn is the colour or colours.
We have had 3 shipments of the yarn in the past year and I become more enamored with the yarn the more I use it.

A small shipment arrived last week and I was excited to see that the pattern for 'Charlotte's web' shawl was included. Helen and I spent a few minutes playing with the colours and came up with a range that looked promising.
The project was started the following day, 12 days later it was done. I followed the pattern suggestions closely but played with the colours a little as I wanted to make good use of the yarn. There are just a few bits and one fairly large amount of the lightest colour. If you wanted to include the fridge I would suggest following the colour blending almost exatly.
The resulting shawl is very lovely, the fabric has a great drape and the colours blended beautifully!
We made up kits with the skeins available of the yarn in stock.
I would like to try this colour blending again with another pattern, but not right away I have to leave some of the yarn for customers to purchase!

We are enjoying the new space in the shop! Customers are finding great deals on some discontinued yarns. A reminder that we are closed for a few days this summer. (July 16, 17, and 18 that's very soon!)
Enjoy the sunshine!

Love Koigu. Back in 2000 I made a skirt and top with it. Can't wait to get to the new, expanded shop.
