  1. The silk merino lace yarns are ALL stunning! I particularly love Blaze and Smoke and Mirrors. Blaze has that gorgeous, bright, almost juicy quality, it reminds me of the Clementines that are so popular at this time of year! Smoke and Mirrors looks so soft and sleek and cozy, like it would make the perfect shawlette for snuggling up during the cold months and looking elegant while staying warm! :D
