Plain Vanilla Yarn PrØn

Simple YP this week: One cone of Zephyr lace weight 2/18.



5,040 yards of 50% wool, 50% tussah silk.

I don't even really know what tussah silk* is but it sounds fancy so I used it.
I'm saving it to make a shawl someday after I improve my lace knitting skills.



*Tussah silk is produced by wild silk moths instead of the cultivated moths used for the white, smooth silks.

I've heard great raves about this yarn. From what I hear it is not at all boring, even in a vanilla color.

Ooh, I love that 2nd shot. White/vanilla is tough to photograph. Thanks!

I like it!!! You know without vanilla we wouldn't have chocolate--I mean what would be to stop us from calling chocolate vanilla if vanilla didn't exist? I confuse myself.
