Somewhere between these two pictures, is the true colour of Smooshy Aqua jet.
Too dark
Too pale.
But they yarn itself, in life is just right. Perfectly little girl climbing a tree overalls.
I have never used Smooshy before. I'm generally so busy with earthy crunchy lowly processed yarns that I don't seem to search out these soft yarns. I just don't get there without help.
So I have a friend who helps. A lot. She leads me to deliciousness in a different way yarns like Madelinetosh and Brooklyn Tweed and most recently Quince and Co.
I enjoy the trip to these things just as much as I enjoy Einband, Tove, Briggs and Little and my much beloved Mulespun from Custom Woolen Mills.
I've still only found 1 yarn that I won't ever work with (The slipper stuff from Phentex) and I am not looking for more. But show me yarns that are different than that one yarn...
I love yarn. I think I always have.

we are the same - I love me a rustic Briggs and LIttle, and adore a softer than anything silk/alpaca, as well as pretty much anything in between. BUt Phentex? Nope. That stuff is an abomination.
I think I always have too. Icannot remember a time when fibre didn't interest me.
