Hopping Down the Bunny Trail

Forget Mr. Cottontail, at long last here comes Mopsy. Thank you for your patience during the past few months of trials and tribulations, delirium and delays that we’ve endured. It’s been quite a real roller coaster, eh?

As one of the people who’s had the pleasure of test-knitting it, words cannot convey Mopsy’s buttery softness, but I’ll try. Let’s start with the specs: 420 yards (384m) of 80% merino, wool 10% Angora rabbit fur, 10% nylon yarny goodness. It’s a squishy hank of heaven with just a hint of halo in a heavy worsted-weight yarn. Imagine a luxury workhorse of a yarn that’s as much a joy to knit as it is to wear as a finished object. It’s perfect for that ultimate cozy sweater (or Moonstruck cardigan) or an indulgent accessory or two or three…

We have a couple hundred skeins waiting to be dyed in the barn. That should tide us over for a week or two. The mill promises to send half a ton more in 2011. (But what have we learned about mill promises?) I predict we’ll be seeing a lot more of this yarn in the new year. We are thrilled it’s finally here to share with you.

What will you want to knit with it?

  8. I have been waiting to start Moonstruck until Mopsey was available.  I saw true blood red in geisha and s fell in love with that color that I decided that Mopsey in true blood red would make an ideal sweater.  Of course, I haven’t SEEN Mopsey and can only imagine it, but I know I will love it, Am a little concerned it may be too soft and delicate for outerwear but have decided to have faith in you since you recommended Mopsey for this pattern from the beginning.

    I have promised myself I will sew up the Traveling sweater before starting a new project, however.

    Tina: Have you deciphered gucci bags’ post. I admire anyone who can write in another language(I have a rudimentary facility in French), but this is all but incomprehensible and somewhat funny. It rivals ballistic helmets and bulletproof vests of pre-Christmas fame.

    I hope you are sending (bringing?) lots of Mopsy to the Vogue Live marketplace!  Lots of Marine Silk (my personal favorite) too (please).
