Please please please??? It would make ordering so much easier!

Thanks so much for your time, and help. :o); ▶ Reply to This

One of my "...no, srsly, don't even ask" projects has me looking for a green that's about that hue, but dark enough to read as black at a first glance, which I can't exactly tell properly on my monitor...; ▶ Reply to This

I wouldn't describe the Forest Heather as super dark - it's more of a pine-y color, with light variations. Lumberjack tweed is a bit darker (but more olive) but I don't think we have anything like you are describing :( Sorry!

Hope this helps

Cleaning my yarn. I made the baby a beautiful sweater is the swish DK (I think that's write it's superwash wool). Well, she's gotten some kind of food on it kind of ground into one of the cables. What's the best way to take care of this problem? Should I just throw it in the washer and see if it comes out? Or is there a pretreating technique which may be really effective in solving this problem? I really love this sweater and want to maintain it as nice as possible. Thanks in advance for your help.; ▶ Reply to This

My suggestion is to first soak the sweater in warmish water for a bit to see if the food particles will loosen up. I wouldn't use anything like Shout or anything. Then I'd throw it in the washer on gentle to see if it will come out - I'd wait before throwing it the dryer until the food is all out. :)

Hope this helps! Others with more experience with this might have other suggestions! :)

Options I'm considering include Elegance, Andean Treasure, and Andean Silk. I've worked with Elegance before, but not the other two, so I'm having a hard time deciding which yarn (or whether there's even another option I've missed). Any feedback on what you all would use/prefer? My main interest is that the gloves be as soft and luxe as possible.

Thanks!!; ▶ Reply to This
