Starry Day, Starry Night
03-Jun-09
I have to admit, I was reluctant to order Dream in Color Starry for our store. About a year ago I had seen a fingering weight yarn with a similar fiber composition that had left me less than impressed. So I held off. That is until I saw Starry in person at a trade show. 
Starry is soft, like Smooshy, bouncy and simply lovely. Adding to the loveliness of the yarn is the silver fiber that runs through the twist, which gives Starry a subtle glitter.Â
This glitter shows much more obviously in darker colors and with a magical peak-a-boo effect in lighter colors that also enhances these color lines. 
Starry begs to be used in lace projects for your next scarf, stole or shawl. I think it would also make lovely cardigans that can be worn for a night out; the glitter would look lovely at night when it catches the light of any given environment. Of course, Starry would also make lovely socks. 
I am off to the store and hope to enjoy the unusually warm and sunny June weather of Seattle before the weekend cool-down is here. Hope you are all well and knitting/crocheting with a smile.
