#DIW2 – My yarn choice

I’ve finally decided which yarn I want to use for the Design Improv Workshop #2 scarf (#DIW2). Here it is – this lovely skein of Madelinetosh Merino Light.

This has been one of the nicer skein in my stash for almost a year now. It’s extra special because it’s a souvenir from my visit to Churchmouse Yarns and Teas near Seattle.  I keep thinking of using it, but then no project quite seems worthy. I think it has just been waiting for this one.

The Moorland colorway is such a beautiful, mottled shade of green, which is my favorite color. It will be perfect for a light, spring scarf. I had concerns about it being wool, for a lighter scarf, but lets face it – spring can still be really cold. A lighter looking, but still warm scarf may not be a bad idea. At a generous 420 yards, this should be just right.

I’ll be getting this wound and ready to use tonight. I can’t wait to get started – only 2 more days to go!
