You’re right – not a creative name, but I do love the shape of the hat, and I know how soft it must be.

I’d rather get yarn than chocolate for Valentine’s Day, too!

Every time I see pics of the Malabrigo Silkpaca, I get a little breathless! I have sent a link to my daughter, to pass on to her Dad as possible replacements for the usual box of Valentines chocolates–much healthier!

Hi Sheri,
I am so glad you carry both Shibui Baby Alpaca DK and Silk Cloud. I am also not a big mohair fan, but the combination of these two yarns makes a lovely fabric. I’m on my second hat. It is the not very creatively named Shibui No.6 which is slightly slouchy. There is also enough leftover for mitts.

Sheri! You continue to spoil us once again – I love the idea of celebration month … My LYS had a “souperbowl sunday” yarn sale so I did visit them this past weekend – however, the month is short and the lovely items are popping up all over your site … it will be hard to resist a 2nd celebratory purchse. I better update my wishlist in time for Valentine’s Day! lol

Hi Sheri:

I just realized that you were referring to the yarn and not a shawl where it says “(shown here in EQ)”

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Hi Nadine – I didn’t have one specific shawl in mind, but there are several that look great with a multi-color base and a solid color trim. A few you might check out:

What is the name of the shawl you refer to in Kauni with a solid edging?

The scissors make my heart beat a little faster — especially the rosewood one!
