in which I enhance my stash, one more time
Gosh – where to start. Maybe the color — they called it Avocado, I call it lush and gorgeous. The softness? OH yeah, it’s soft. The depth, those little flecks of yellow and red and navy? Oh so beautiful. [click the photos to biggify]

I bought it to make a Peasy sweater [rav link here] – the very first time I ever bought the specified yarn for a project. Usually I don’t think that far in advance; I just get an itching to make something, I pick a pattern and check what weight yarn is specified, then see what I have in that weight. But I saw Saffron‘s Peasy, on her fabulous blog Mooncalfmakes, and she uses a lot of Rowan, so I was hooked.
I couldn't leave that Rowan Felted Tweed alone....
Not that I’ll be starting the sweater any time soon, unfortunately. For now I’ll have to comfort myself by petting the yarn a lot. You know what that’s like, I’m sure.
Awesome color! I love avocados
ME TOO! Maybe I’ll have to eat avocados while wearing the sweater.
Not that I need a reason to eat an avocado.
wow, nice pictures. they induced instant fiber coveting here

yeah, i’ve always heard people talk about rowan tweeds, and now i get it. i really, really get it. this color is even more beautiful than i expected when i saw it on the webs site. my fingers are itching to use it!
I’m a veteran yarn petter. And that yarn looks worth the petting!
me too – people say it’s not right, but i don’t care.
Beautiful color and pattern! It’s been added to my queue
