OMG Love at first stitch! Berroco Talara

New Yarn Alert: Berroco Talara 

I'm in love! It's the squishiest, softest yarn to work with. Immediately cast on a striped scarf with all the colors! Tube scarf to make it even easier to finish. It's going to be a big long, warm, colorful tube to wear all winter.  It's a chainette style yarn which creates a bouncy hand, but got to say....a bugger to rip back. But I love it so much...all's forgiven!  

Last spring at our rep appt this yarn sucked me in right away. Rep Betsy had sweater on the needles and I couldn't stop squishing it, delighted with how cozy it works up. I'm dreaming of lovely cardigans and pullovers I can live in all winter. 

Color palette is just lovely. Hence my decision to use ALL the colors in a super stripe scarf! I couldn't decide which to use....so they all get used!

Okay...enough gushing. Here's the skinny: "Talara is a delightfully lush and charming mid-weight yarn made of 100% llama. It’s soft to the touch and easy to work with, has a bouncy texture, and creates a fabric that has next-to-skin comfort." Pattern booklet #446 Talara features lovely designs. Especially handy are Maitake and Porcini, two hat-mitten sets; one knit and other crochet! Perfect for gifting.

Porcini (crochet)

Cremini, a lace cardigan and Morel Vest both wardrobe building sweaters. Tartufo wins hands-down for cuddliest weekend sweater.
