PUT A LITTLE HEAVEN AROUND YOUR NECK
PACA PAINTS in pairs for sufficient yardage to make a luxurious cowl. This is a Superfine grade alpaca in a DK weight (5.5 stitches per inch on a 6, 220 yards). That green/brown pair might need to go home with me...unless you get here first.
MARIQUITA is a 1/2 Baby Alpaca and 1/2 Tencel that feels like an angel's wing. Using a #3-4 needle will result in a 6.5 - 7 stitch per inch gauge. There are 400 luxurious yards in a hank.
ASTRAL is 30% Alpaca, 20% Merino and 50% Tencel and is a true worsted at 5 stitches to the inch using a #7. There are 197 yards per skein.

Felt like the size of a TABLECLOTH...
Completed, it was only 20.5 by 9 inches on 40 count linen. I thought I would never finish!
Now I can get back to some needlepoint and knitting!

Welcome to the TWIS MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS!
When a trunk show from BB Needlepoint (http://bbneedlepointdesigns.com ) arrives, we receive a boatload of models, all of which are imaginatively stitched. It is a real education to stand here and study them. Being aware that we have readers who can't dash over and enjoy the show first hand, I'm presenting lots of photographs.
We also have a lot of new canvases from her for which there are no stitch guides...as yet. Please feel free to drop me a note at my email if you need a quote on a canvas. Don't forget to click on the images.
You can see that the plumb-bob husband didn't hang this show, so kindly just tip your head to the left five degrees, and ignore the one that is upside down. It looked really good close up, but it has even more character now, n'est pas?
Count on these being here until Nov. 1... and some of them for longer, if we get lucky!!
