Look! Pretties!

Aren't these colors yummy?

They are Joann Sensations Bellezza Collection Dolcetto Yarn in peach, yellow, lime, and blue.

I think I'm going to make the Booga Bag with them but I'm not quite sure yet. Either that, or a scarf in blocks of four. What do you think?

They're a wool blend, so I'm not sure how well they'll felt, if they'll felt at all. There's a reviewer on the Jo-Ann's link that said they felted, though thinly, so we'll see when I make a test swatch with them.

*** Update: here's the test swatch, which is being whipped and beaten in my washer by a couple of towels to really rough it up. And maybe b*tch slap it a few times or whatever it is they do in there to each other.

Pre-felting the swatch measured 2"w x 1 1/2" h.













And post-felting, it measured 1 3/4" w x 1" h.

I've been wanting to try this yarn for ages! I like the soft color palette and feel. Oh, did I mention that? They are super soft.

Other than that, not a whole lot going on here today. I'm almost ready to send out my Fall Purse Swap package. Just need to get two more things done and then that fat lady can sing her heart out.
