What Type of Yarn Are You?

I found a cute yarn quiz via Angel Yarns Forum.....and surprise, surprise, I came up as "Merino Yarn" - Merino is my favorite fiber to spin.....and I love knitting with it! (Notice too that the "swatch" they show is purple....how appropriate!) (Be sure to check out Angel Yarns too - they're a fabulous mail order source in Great Britain - especially useful if you want some of the British Yarns!)






What kind of yarn are you?




You are Merino Wool.You are very easygoing and sweet. People like to keep you close because you are so softhearted. You love to be comfortable and warm from your head to your toes.
Take this quiz!

On to the current status of my projects:

Knitting:
  • Parasol socks - I didn't finish the first sock as planned (easily sidetracked I guess!) - I hope to get it done withing the next day or so.
  • Finished the Haiku (40% silk/60% merino) Feather and Fan Scarf - I still need to block it
  • Almost done with the garter and drop stitch scarf using Noro Aurora
  • There are sooooo many projects that I want to do that I don't know where to start!
  • I did manage a couple more pattern repeats on the Swallowtail Shawl....I'm not making progress nearly as quickly as I'd like!
  • I have been keeping my New Years Resolution of finishing at least one previous WIP/UFO every month!
Spinning:
  • Finished spinning the Brown BFL - just need to ply the last 2 bobbins worth
  • Almost finished spinning some "generic" multi-colored blue wool (from Little Barn) - I have very little left to spin - only about a 3 ft. length of roving. I plied 2 full bobbins of it and have at least 2 more full bobbins to do. The final 2 bobbins will be relatively small
  • Sent off my final skeins to my downstream "Spin-to-Knit" secret pal (sponsored by Interweave) last Thursday and sent the samples of the Jan. and Feb. skeins on to Shannon Okey, the author of the book, "Spin to Knit".
  • I'm very excited - I got a message from my new upstream secret pal - she's just sent a package to "tide me over" until she completes the "real" skein she intends to send me. That's sooooo sweet....and totally unnecessary! (My original upstream pal had to drop out due to health issues - I'm keeping her in my thoughts and prayers.....hoping she'll have a speedy recovery!)

    You are Dishcloth Cotton.
    You are a very hard worker, most at home when you're at home. You are thrifty and seemingly born to clean. You are considered to be a Plain Jane, but you are too practical to notice

    LOL - poor Danielle! How do you think Elizabeth feels - she's "mohair" and that's the one fiber she CAN'T knit!

    Nice sox, J! And nice pix, too. If yesterday's snow was the predicted storm, it was very well done.

    I cleaned up and resorted a very large part of my stash yesterday and discovered I may possibly have cornered the world market on Silky Wool, totally unbeknownst to me. Wonder if LEO is buying stuff when I'm not home.

    So I got next to nothing done on the Swallowtail - tomorrow is another day!

    Cheers, Karen

    Jinann -
    Well I found you! I received my February skeins and they are lovely. I did not get to take a picture just yet of the goodies but I should get that done soon. The "creamsaver" combo is stunning. Also, thanks so much for the BFL and Finn samples. The BFL is so soft I can't wait to spin it up.
    Sorry to hear your original upstream pal had to drop out of the exchange. I hope your new upstream pal treats you wonderfully.
    Happy Spinning
    Sue

    You are Cashmere.
    You are sophisticated and luxe. You can often be found in high-end boutiques and hobnobbing with the upper crust. You are one of the beautiful people and you don't let anyone forget it!

    2% of people had this result.

    Is this the nice way of saying I am a pain in the ass?

    LOL....no, it just means you're special - the rest of us have a lot to live up to!

    Lucky you! It says I'm dishcloth cotton, though I'm definitely not "born to clean!"

    Most of my friends who came up "Dishcloth Cotton" deny ANY urge to clean! I was quite relieved to be Merino....however, I'm still jealous of Polly - she's luxurious Cashmere.
