Aptly Named
This week I had the great good fortune to play with Scrumptious, a super-dreamy yarn which is being distributed in the USA by Lantern Moon.
Scrumptious is an unusual blend of 45% Silk and 55% Superwash Merino. As you might expect with that fiber content, this yarn has an extraordinary sheen and luster. It's available in a nice range of different weights, so it was hard to pick my favorite. I chose a gorgeous, ropy Aran, and my favorite weight for almost everything in knitting, Sport.
I made some swatches and some sketches (I still cannot believe I get to do this for my JOB!), and then went back to Lantern Moon with my ideas.
Would you believe it? Lantern Moon has trusted me with the first-ever American designs for Scrumptious! The first samples will debut at TNNA in June, with availability of the whole mini-collection coming to you this fall.
If loving string is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
Excellent, can't wait to see what you create to showcase this beautiful yarn!

You are awesome. Your designs are so different from anyone else's out there! You are so creative and unafraid of color. I'm not surprised that Lantern Moon chose you, or Noro, or best baby knits, or any other company looking for the best designs. Congratulations!!!

Yes, it's scrumptious! I like the plied weights more than the singles, but they're all squishably soft. Congratulations and have fun!
