Griff’s lightest wool is kind of oatmeal-colored, and makes such a nice base for blending and showing off different colors. Lots of nice crimp, too, so it gives the yarn a lot of body, despite the fairly high mohair content.

It’s like wool candy.

Turned out pretty cute I think, but they weren’t really meant to be a set.

A couple of single skeins were just hanging out in my bag, and happened to get together.
It’s all pretty casual.
