For my birthday today, I bought myself a present — yarn from Hedgehog Fibres. I know, I know, I have enough yarn already, but not all knitting wool is created equal and Hedgehog is gourmet, hand-dyed, and the ultimate indulgence for a knitter, crocheter, or fibre artist.
I chose a silk/merino lace weight treasure which is soft, delicate, but strong enough for a lifetime of enjoyment. Seductively touchable with a light feel in a sturdy, quality fibre. The Petals colorway is enchanting and feminine without being too girly.
The Petals colorway reminds me of a branch from a Cherry Blossom tree. Soft buff tan bark with gentle pink petals dancing in a spring breeze. Growing up in DC, I LOVE the Cherry Blossoms. Little known fact is that I was actually a Cherry Blossom Princess back in the day. So I will once again feel like a princess while knitting up and wearing the lace shawl made from this decadent yarn in a decidedly feminine colorway.
Of course, that wasn’t all I treated myself to! As with most things, there is a cherry on top!
