Pebble Haze Yarn | Blossom-Circle-Square | Jumper Vest

 Yay! I finished my first article of clothing with the fabulous Pebble Haze yarn 

from Yarnsmiths and Wool Warehouse. 

A great big hug of thanks for this generous gift is being sent via this instant 

worldwide communication option. 

Hoping there is enough bandwidth and radio frequency to cover 

how grateful I am for this consideration.

I love this DK (#3 light) weight 67% cotton 33% acrylic yarn! 
It is soft and airy but is structured enough to hold up for clothing. 
I like it so much that I have purchased more if it!

I had a hard time deciding on sleeves, 

but I thought no sleeves would be nice for springtime. 

Plus it can always be worn over a blouse with sleeves...

Yarn: 
Yarnsmiths Pebble Haze
Colors: 
Marble, Chrysocolla, Porphyry, Olivine, Fluorite, Lolite, Blue Slate,
