YPF......

Alchemy Pagoda Alchemy Pagoda 100% silk-Forest Waltz Colorway
Posed amidst my only surviving Azalea bush. The freeze we had a week or two ago, killed all the blossoms off the others. Hey, we are so surprised they are still living anyways..I do not have a green thumb! ;)

Awesome colorway, the giftor certainly knows a few of the colors I love!

Now, finding something lovely to knit this scrumptious yarn into....it arrived the same day as a skein of Lorna's Laces Chocolate Worsted, and they hung out together for a bit...but I think she's a bit of a loner...she needs to be knit alone, or with something equally as delicate.

Ideas anyone?

You mean aside from being posed in the azaleas for pictures? Hm. I think that's a yarn that needs to sit in the stash while you wait for a pattern to find you.

I agree with Bezzie - that yarn is so lovely, you want to be sure that the perfect pattern comes to you for it. I love how it almost seems like it could be 2 different yarns, with all the variation in colors. And how can you go wrong with 100% silk!

Gorgeous! What about just wearing it around your neck like a necklace? ;-)

Gorgeous!!!!!!! Soooo pretty!!

So nice and soft. The colors are great. I concur with Bezzie. I think you should just wait for it to come to you. That doesn't mean you can't do a little searching as well! :D

Have you seen the skirt pattern that uses this Alchemy Pagoda yarn? It's on the PurlSoho.com website, though they don't seem to sell that yarn. I found your comment because I saw the pattern first and was trying to get a closer look at the yarn. Nice stuff! The skirt looks like fun!
