My second laceweight silk skein arrived today. It’s very nice - but far less “flame” in appearance than I had thought. The light is pretty awful today so it’s really hard to tell but I think I would describe this more as a Peach Melba experience - it has the peach of the fruit, the pink of the redcurrant sauce, and the chemical bright golden cream of Wall’s Cornish Ice Cream… with a little white whipped cream added, and some acid yellow going spare. Not entirely convinced that I love it - can you tell? I’ll use it to practise on the Lead or Follow Lace Scarf before using the green and blue skein on it, as I would hate to waste that gorgeous skein.
