Well, Fenimore, actually. It just looked brainlike in its unblocked state.
But now it's blocked and it's another winner. I do love the Shelter yarn. The color is "Hayloft".
It's a bit rough at first, but it gets a soft, light feltiness after washing. I have fairly sensitive skin, but I haven't had a problem wearing either hat I've knitted with it.
I'm going to have to try a larger project using Shelter. A shawl made of this stuff would be very warm and cuddly, indeed. Juneberry is gorgeous, but I don't know if I'm in the mood for a complicated lace pattern (and by "complicated", I mean the pattern is worked on both sides). Terra looks more agreeable and has a bit more of that "rustic" look that appeals to me, as opposed to Juneberry's refined fiddliness.
I think I'm coming out of my hat phase, finally. There were still several on my list of want-to-knits, but I feel the need to do something else for awhile.
That is certainly lovely!
