REAL SILVER. Yes, real silver spun is into this lovely PURPLE yarn. The color is called Tanzanite. It is heavenly. Not only that it is 73% superwash merino, 20% silk, 15% nylon and yes 2% silver. Heavenly I tell you, beautiful and heavenly.

Can you see the fine silver threads? Of course the pictures do not do this yarn justice. It is so awesome. Don’t you just wish you could see it and fondle it right now. I do and I am.

My friend Kathy rocks. She presented me with the yarn along with this cool little project bag.  

I also got a hug along with it; on a day when I really needed a hug. She is always there for me when I need a friend and I have no idea how she does it. She has a rough job right now, two young boys, a husband, knits fabulously, teaches knitting classes and most of all always has time for her friends. Thank you Kathy, you are awesome. I love the yarn but most of all I appreciate your good thoughts for me and DS and of course, the Hug; you made my day.
