This is the description, verbatim, from the Midnight Sky Fibers sight:
Name: Doorjam
Weight: lace-sock
Yards: 50
Ingredients: wool
Description: Wool spun in stripes of miscellaneous colors- some with touches of mohair, alternating with a dusty purple stripe.
I bought about 90 more yards, to finish said dream swatch. It won't be super long, but it doesn't need to be.
When I first met up with Doorjam, it was in a sampler type box I ordered along with a yellow single skein. The yarns from Midnight Sky are always lovely. They have a great.. I want to say raw, but that's not it, quality you just don't get from a mass produced skein from a big company. I think a lot of it comes from being handspun (at least the stuff I buy) and not mass-spun. I couldn't decide what to do with it, but it was begging to be something cute. I did a quick google, and remembered about the Dream Swatch and voila! That was it.
I even got a little surprise in this latest shipment, a free mini skein of Tangerine (which I cannot find on the site, so I am guessing it was an end) but it's cute too. I am thinking another something small, a couple of change purses or something.
All in all, I have always had a great experience with Midnight Sky Fibers, and I absolutely would send anyone over there to buy yarns.
Sometimes I wish I celebrated Christmas... usually because of nifty ideas like this one.
I am about 1.5 inches away from finishing the skirt part of The Flirty Skirty, it's soooo boring to knit 9 inches of garter. So I've alternated with knitting a hat for mom, starting a blanket made out of recycled sari yarn, and some little nothings. I also pad my stash, while thinking, I can use this! And it takes months to decide what to do with it. But I'm a yarn ho and I like the expensive stuff, so the project has to be just perfect. I'm not stuck on the expensive stuff, but the only acryllic I have was given to me by my MIL when I was learning to knit. Everything I've bought myself has been animal fibre of some sort. Oh, I bought some cotton, but I don't like using it, and I need to be rid of it already.
