I've been done with this project for a while, but was waiting to get the January yarn club finished and posted first. The Paradise Fibers Yarn Club for February was a skein of
Mountain Colors Merino Ribbon in the colorway Harmony Aspen. The colors in this one are absolutely gorgeous! It is a really subtle blend of tan, blue, and green. Also, remember how I said there was only one of the Mountain Colors novelty yarns I would consider using again? This yarn was it, and it is much nicer to work with on its own (away from the weird fuzzy yarns.)
I decided to make a little shrug for spring and summer. I found an
easy pattern on Ravelry from the book One-Skein Wonders that was perfect. It worked up fairly quickly and didn't have any seaming or grafting. I added several rows beyond what was called for in the pattern (or else it would have been super short.) This is the kind of pattern that can be extended until you run out of yarn.
Overall, I enjoyed working with the Merino Ribbon yarn. The color was perfect and it made a nice light fabric. I would probably buy this yarn again for a summer sweater, or other warm weather knitting.
