Noro challenge

I got myself few of these fabulous skeins of Noro Kochoran. As yarn it is probably the most luxurious, most beautiful I’ve ever seen. The colours range from deep wine to hot fuchsia, to white, coolest mint green, peach, teal, taupe, olive and rich yellow with green tint, all wrapped together to lovely handspun. A gorgeous white halo of angora wraps the whole package. The combination makes me think those travelling fun fairs with candy coloured but weathered equipment ant graphics.

In spite of all that serious yarn love I have strong doubts if I’m able to convert that thing to wearable and equally tempting knitted item. Right now I’m pretty sure, that it shall be a plush shawl knitted with some rich texture stitch (I’ve done my dose of garter stitch for this winter). I’ve also considered a sweater, knitted carefully in circle, matching those colour pools exactly. But I’m pretty sure that this colourway is not for that purpose.

And Selma – well, I’m almost there. Only those about one million yarn ends waiting for weaving in are in between us.
