Triangulation

Last week, when perusing the online yarn stores, I stumbled upon Artesano's new

British Superwash Wool

.  I kid you not, I jumped up and down in excitement when I saw it.  I am always on the look out for nice chunky and super chunky yarns.  There is a tendency for many of the yarns in the upper weights to be single ply (just one single loosely twisted strand, not multiple strands twisted together) - something I really don't like to use or wear.Anyway, hardly believing my luck at finding such an awesome wool, I contacted Artesano to see if it was true - was there really a new lovely chunky wool on the market? To my delight, yes there was and a hank arrived at my door a few days later.

The searing pink told me it HAD to be combined with the lovely grey that "fell" into my basket whilst doing another yarn shop and Triangulation was born.  This is a great project for someone who has never done colourwork before, as the pattern is very simple and the bulky yarn makes it easy to see what you are doing.
