my new love

I ordered a new-to-me sock yarn, a superwash merino singles yarn, to try out. It is 4 oz and 450 yards of pure sexy. I think I am in love.

I think its extra luster comes from being a singles yarn--there are no shadows from the plying to disrupt the glow. I have known many singles yarns in various weights and fiber blends, but I don't love any of them, not even the silk blends, the way I feel about this one.

I know this is just the honeymoon stage, after dyeing just two skeins of a new base yarn. But it's hard not to share my new infatuation.
