Such an underrated colour! One of the lovely testers for my steampunk mitts pattern, Denvermama, made hers in a gorgeous orange, and I promised myself once I'd done my tax return (yawn...) I'd treat myself to a skein or two (or three!).
And so it was that I ended up trawling the latest offerings from Fyberspates. And this is what I got, ta-da!
Totally gorgeous, especially against the silver :) FYI (and because I like to be an enabler on occasion) these are both Twizzle 4 ply, in silver and burnt orange.
Now, these yarns were supposed to be earmarked for some more steampunk mitts for a craft fair I'm doing in December. Instead I have seconded them to the shawl department and I'm planning on a stripy version of my Urban Shawl pattern. If there's any left over after that I shall make some mitts!
