Here it is!" - S

"The shawl has marvellous drape. This was the
first time I had knit with pure silk, and I loved
every minute of it. The colour is phenomenal.
...I loved knitting with this yarn, and the gorgeous colour has drawn a lot of attention and garnered many compliments." - M

"I am sending you one photo of your beautiful shawls
on my bed. I painted the walls the same colour
and they look amazing...just thought you would love to see
where they were and how beautiful they look"- J

"Thought you might like to see the earring I did with your muga silk... " - S

"This silk top was knit using 2 strands of the muga silk on 3.25 mm needles.
The pattern was free on knitty.com - it was originally done in cotton but we
think the silk looks spectacular! The colour of real natural indigo on the
wild silk gives a gentle variagated look. A friend of mine suggests dry
cleaning to keep the garment looking crisp but I prefer to handwash so it
has a soft drape and I can wear the top often! Less than 2 skeins of
muga silk were needed to complete this
silk top for size 16-18."


This shawl was knit up using the Merino sport weight yarn in the natural
madder red colour. Once again the variation in the natural colour is very
appealing. The pattern is a Fibre Trends pattern (available at your local
yarn store) - the Landscape Shawl and Scarf.
550 gm of yarn was used
making the shawl 5" shorter than the original pattern - 3 225gm
should be
enough to do the full size.


This sock was knit up using the sport wt merino (indigo) for women's size
9.5-10 on 2.75mm needles. For the pair of socks 116gms was needed.

Here is a baby blanket knit up using 2 strands of the sport weight superwash
merino wool yarn . The pattern is from the "Stitch' n Bitch" book called
the Big Bad Baby Blanket. Semi-solid pumpkin and the handpainted Autumn
Harvest merino were used - rather than the solely varigated yarn suggested
in the pattern. Ours came out a bit larger than the pattern using 2 225gm
skeins of the pumpkin and 4 100gm skeins of the Autumn Harvest. Superwash
is machine wash and dryable (though I prefer not to put the yarn in the
dryer....it's safer that way!)

These are baby socks (are knit using cornflower merino superwash in sport weight) and the patterns are found in New Pathways for Sock Knitters by Cat Bordhi.
