Purses, Purses and Purses

Hello everyone! I finished making some wonderful purses. Once I get a few more I will start listing them in earnest. Right now I just want to get a few various purses as a stock. They will probably be first come first serve(OOAK), and probably one of a kind colors, as the yarn I currently have in stock is all vintage(I'm talking 20+ years of age)!

The moment you all have been waiting for:
Warning! Picture Bomb:

Bolero(this is the subject of today's review! My camera skills could use some work on this one...)


Purses in various forms of completion

Wow...what to say about this yarn. Well for starters it's amazingly soft and warm. Pure luxury yarn. When I first changed it from a skein to a ball, I found that it was easily twining. To wind I actually use a large plastic rubbish bin turned upside down. The wide end creates a nice spot for the yarn to sit while I handwind it. It didn't mind me winding it as other yarn brands did, and it also didn't kink up like I honestly expected it to. 

This yarn was sexy to knit with. The Schoppel Wolle IN Silk actually has an oval shape to it, which is crazy unique from what I've seen! It was smooth, gentle and made a soft hissing noise when it turned into the bolero.  It was awesome to use and a fun 3AM partner. I've even got a small ball of it left...wonder what it would like to be turned into? :) I just want to use it all up, as it's so beautiful and REAL, much like the lemon yellow yarn I told you about earlier.

Softness:5/5(plush from skein to finished product)
Price:1/5(17-30 dollars per skein! Yikes! 225yards; so buy if in your price range)
Color:5/5
Ease of use: 5/5(It's great if you love low effort yarn with a gentle feel to it, cast off and knit away)

Hey, if you're aware of my Facebook page, I'd strongly suggest getting back in touch with it. I'm doing some small trivia questions, and the winner gets a nice prize. :)
