Beemer Knits Corriedale Oceanic
I love handpainted yarn. I have quite the growing collection of it. Sort of embarrassing really. Some I buy with a plan in mind. Others I just have to have knowing the right project will come along. The yarn I received today falls into the first category. I belong to an online message board community and one of our members is having triplets, two boys and a girl. She is going to use cloth diapers and we are surprising her with a soaker, longie, and sleep sack shower.
With only one girl in the bunch, I wanted to make her some things that are gender neutral. I don't have much of that in my stash so I had to buy something. Bummer. I found the perfect yarn from Beemer Knits. It is 6 oz. of Corriedale wool in the Oceanic colorway. It is a combination of lovely blues with a very subtle green. I also giggle a little bit about the colorway name, being a huge Lost fan. I'm going to use it to make (hopefully) two sleep sacks with it in a newborn size.
