Fortunately, it is such great stuff that I have gotten over my embarrassment rather quickly.<\/p>\n<p>As a means of setting the scene, the Interlacements yarn was purchased from Judy Ditmore during <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mafafiber.org\" target=\"_blank\">MAFA&#8217;s <\/a>2005 conference. That was the same time that I purchased the yarn for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/?p=76\" target=\"_blank\">Mr. Penney&#8217;s sofa shawl<\/a>. Well, one of the other vendors at that conference was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.habutextiles.com\" target=\"_blank\">Habu<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Yes, that&#8217;s right.\u00a0It was\u00a0chance to see Habu&#8217;s yarn&#8217;s first hand, rather than just on the website. And to see and touch these yarns meant that I had to purchase some.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/habu-bamboo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-690\" title=\"habu-bamboo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/habu-bamboo-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.habutextiles.com\/webfile\/xs-6.html\" target=\"_blank\">20\/3 bamboo<\/a>. It feels wonderful, and I have 13.7 ounces of it. SQUEEE!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/habu-merino.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-691\" title=\"habu-merino\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/habu-merino-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.habutextiles.com\/webfile\/a-33.html\" target=\"_blank\">2\/48 merino wool<\/a>. I have about 7 ounces of this. There is no suggested epi for this yarn on the site, so I am going to have to do a wrap to find out what sett I will do.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/habu-silk.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-692\" title=\"habu-silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/habu-silk-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And finally, there is this little wonder, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.habutextiles.com\/webfile\/ns-18h.html\" target=\"_blank\">21\/3&#215;2 silk organize<\/a>. According to the label, there are 4600 yards per skein for this silk, and I have 4 skeins of it. Working with this will probably make my head hurt, but it will be worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if you notice, all of this is undyed. Toward that end, this arrived in the mail the other day:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/dyeing-book.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-693\" title=\"dyeing-book\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/dyeing-book-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Granted, I have done dyeing before; but having additional references is never a bad thing for me.
