web-goddess: Araucania

Monday, October 22, 2007

Attention Sydney Sock Knitters: I have seen the future, and it is Araucania. Specifically, Araucania Ranco Solid and Ranco Multi. Both are 75% wool, 25% nylon. Both have over 340m per 100g skein (compared to a miserly 267 on Jitterbug). And both were in my hands this afternoon in the shop. I actually GASPED when Albert pulled them out of the bag. They're beautiful. I told him they're going to be a massive hit, so he should get a couple packets of every colour. Get ready!

Oh, and also coming: the breathtaking Mirasol Hacho (a 100% merino 8ply) and Mirasol Cotanani (a 60% cotton, 40% wool 8ply). Yes, you read that correctly. A wool/cotton blend READILY AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA. I swooned.

I'm just glad that the shop does online ordering, that's all I can say. They're gorgeous.

Oh, yeah. I just bought myself a skein of the multi at Knit/Purl in Portland OR. Yummo.
