It's hard to tell from the picture, but it's a really nice subtly variegated purple. I like variegated yarns, but I'm discovering that I don't like them with a lot of different colors blended in. I like tone on tone a lot better.
In quilting news, I had made a lot of progress quilting one of the baby quilts. But when I looked at the back side, I was really unhappy with the way it looked. So I slowly but surely picked it out. Actually there are a lot of bits that I just couldn't pick out the stitches were too close together. So tomorrow I'll see if I can find a better seam ripper. And then I'll pick a slightly less ambitious quilting pattern and give it another shot.

I've seen that soy silk up close and personal at my LYS and it's very pretty.
I got a pair of the little tiny Fiskars scissors with the "microserated" blades last spring, and I love 'em. They are better than a seam ripper for seam ripping.
Does soy wool have anything to do with soy?
Very pretty yarn. I agree that the variegated stuff looks better when it's done with similar shades.
And now I know why you didn't answer your phone yesterday. =)
I was sorry to have missed this. Was it fun?
Mag - it was only $9 a skein, at something like 250 yards each, I think it's usually more like $15, so I splurged.
M5K - it's Soy Silk (not wool), it's just soy yarn that feels like silk.
J - I meant to call you when I got your message, but then got distracted & forgot. I'll try to call you tonight after 9pm.
M - It was fun, but it was a lot like Black Sheep, so you didn't really miss much.
What the heck! I didn't get a schedule thingy! I've been jipped. ;) Great self restraint you've got there. :)
"soy yarn"? Like, made from soybeans?!?
