Soliloquy Worsted

So, I've been experimenting with this new fan-dangled Non-superwash worsted, and seeing how it felts up. I am really happy with the results. I dyed up a skein in the soliloquy colour 'druid' and made a project bag. I am not any kind of expert at felting, but it seemed to felt up pretty well with the treatment I gave it. I think someone with more experience could easily felt it up better than I. I have been using the bag too, and it is quite good. overall i think it has been a successful experiment. i am currently making some balls with the left over yarn from the bag, to post in the listings for the yarn. looking pretty good so far. :)


Overall, i've come to the conclusion that this new yarn would be well suited to things like jumpers and other outer wear items, bags, slippers, blankets etc. It seems to me to be a good sort of basic yarn.
