One of my newest fiber loves is Rambouillet: a light, crunchy wool often peppered with soft slubs. The texture of it always makes me gravitate towards subtle, almost washed-out colors - the color of a t-shirt left in the sun too long; a piece of beachglass; a flower that's started to wilt on the vine.
These are three different Rambouillet yarns that I've collected in the last year and a half, and yesterday - sort of on a whim - I put them next to each other for the first time, and they sang. I've come to realize that my brain works well with patterns: shades that fit into the same color story; characteristic textures found across different fibers; accessories that coordinate but don't match.
In a moment, all three yarns told me what they wanted to be. Turns out all they needed was each other.
Although my life feels at a crossroads these days, I'm hoping that organizing my thoughts and plans from now until I graduate (hopefully Novemberish) will help me weedwhack the path forward.
And so, onward!

I really love the coral and seafoam colors, and the purplish makes a nice pop! I can't wait to see what they become :)
These colours do look gorgeous together. What lovely yarn. Excited to see what you'll make. Hope graduation is fab :) x
