I love the colour palette of this yarn, colours are definitely a strength of Garnstudio. But I can’t complain about the fiber content of this yarn either: 52% silk and 48% wool. For some reason the colours are all too flat in Garnstudio’s own pages, but click the previous image larger to see the beautiful detail of this yarn.

Silke-Tweed wants to become Rowan Fyne, and that’s fine for me - standard gauge of Silke-Tweed is almost identical to Rowan Felted Tweed. But I missed one shade of the yarn for this pattern. So I have to visit Menita again to fetch some lion yellow or lime green loveliness!
