It's mozilla who's doing it and was just wondering about the various degrees of white yarn out there. She's really brave to do this for someone but what a wonderful and loving thing to do.Lacefreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-47122447758897560672007-05-31T02:08:00.000-07:002007-05-31T02:08:00.000-07:00I just discovered your blog and I love it!

In lieu of actually having the dress, i think I will go with the brighter white to be on the safe side. She is not very picky and will love it anyway, since she wears white on a regular basis. I have seen some of the Zephyr white, although it was a superwash, that was pretty white and I contemplated getting so I may order up some silk/wool. Thank you again!Peacock Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772753729740769081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-64348316743704579192007-05-27T23:17:00.000-07:002007-05-27T23:17:00.000-07:00I'll try to order some when I get home and give it...I'll try to order some when I get home and give it a try.fleeglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06348327363198905898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-54370433507149633482007-05-27T22:21:00.000-07:002007-05-27T22:21:00.000-07:00Dear fleegle,I enjoyed knitting with the Heaven. I...Dear fleegle,<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed knitting with the Heaven. It's much more sturdy than the Shetland singles I'm knitting WRS in so I feel I can abuse it more when trying manipulate stitches on the needles. It also has a nice slick feel to it once done as a sample. There's only about 3,000 yards in a skein so if I wanted to do Princess in it, I'd need two skeins. I have some lovely cashmere/silk in white I was considering so I may swatch both to see which is the winner.I'd have to wash the sample to get the true effect from the ColorMartUK sample however because it will not "fluff" until the oil is off.Lacefreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-61497873704609741312007-05-27T22:18:00.000-07:002007-05-27T22:18:00.000-07:00Dear laritza,I've never tried to make a shawl for ...Dear laritza,<BR/><BR/>I've never tried to make a shawl for a wedding before. I'd be a wreck! I think mozilla needs a swatch of the fabric if she's really needing a match. If she can't match it, should she go a even brigher white than the gown? Is that better than going darker than the gown?Lacefreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-64153920051423889472007-05-27T20:47:00.000-07:002007-05-27T20:47:00.000-07:00Do you like knitting with it?Do you like knitting with it?fleeglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06348327363198905898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-38158929936318308362007-05-27T19:22:00.000-07:002007-05-27T19:22:00.000-07:00It (has to be) will be, is as white as the gown is...It (has to be) will be, is as white as the gown is :)<BR/>Good luck finding a good match!Laritzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06380883584186444453noreply@blogger.com
