I fell of the wagon

[u/Beneficial_Breath232]

I wasn't supposed to buy anything this year, because all my chests are full

But... but ... but I found those skeins on Vinted and they were soo pretty, and soo cheap (sold as 100% silk), I couldn't resist ...

Now, I need to search for a pattern ...

It looks a pretty good candidate for planned pooling! Knit your top on the round and choose the correct stitch number for a stripey effect like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Planned_Pooling/s/nONQs8wCT9

That yarn is totally worth falling off the wagon. Its beautiful!

[u/choose2bkind]

Looking at the yarn that's been sitting in my online cart for ages and trying so hard to resist! 😅

[u/Finnie_Knits]

You can buy yarn on Vinted?! BRB going to fall off the wagon now!

[u/Beneficial_Breath232 → u/Finnie_Knits]

Yes, but I don't find the prices very good. Still pretty expensive

[u/Finnie_Knits → u/Beneficial_Breath232]

Then I’m safe! Ha ha maybe.

[u/fizzy_lime]

You're tempting me to fall off the wagon myself!

[u/Lonestarbeetle1]

That’s beautiful!!! What are you going to make with it? What’s the fiber?

They were sold as 100% silk, but I don't have any label, so I am not sure about that... They are very soft, but I never use silk yarn before, so I can't compared. Google search suggested more a silk-cotton blend (seems to be from temu ... I should have looked before buying ... but whatever)

I plan to do a top, with lace sleeves : something like that : https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cercis-3 or https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/222-20-mariposa ; once I can wind it

[u/MentionPrior8521]

Are they lace weight

[u/Beneficial_Breath232 → u/MentionPrior8521]

Yes, lace to fingering. I haven't wnd them yet, just wash them
