I love getting the special "souvenir" yarn that gives me joy in the making and in the wearing! Yarn is the best way to remember the wonderful places I've gotten to visit!
The cotton merino would look lovely in some of the colour work jumpers by Unwind Knitting. You have plenty for a cardigan or jumper I think. Love the other yarns you got too. The darker hand dyed will be a gorgeous Lento. I’ve used Rosario’s 4 ply cotton. So soft. Enjoy the making.
Oh yess! Her patterns are so beautiful, I've actuallt been eyeing 'exhale' since she used somewhat similar colors. Thank you so much for your comment Kathleen. It is so fun to hear about your knitting experience with these yarns 😄
For the cotton merino blend green/oatmeal, you could do a stripey or simple color work shrug. Like a cropped cardigan if that is your style at all. Such a fun haul. I am always so exited to go to local yarn shops, so glad to hear about these spanish yarns.
Hi Fem I just finished the Corran Cardigan by Rebecca @the.creabea. I held mine double to get gauge. I made the V neck short sleeve. The yarn is perfect! I used just under 5 skeins for size 3. I think if you held one strand of green with one strand of the light shade. Make the body and sleeves. And do the ribbing and button band in solid green held double. That would look so good. Beautiful yarn enjoy!
I am sorry to say that your 2 colors are way too close for colorwork, you won't see the difference between the 2. Stripes would work very subtle. Take a black and white pic. with your phone, then you will see if there is a difference. Beautiful yarn choices.

Oehh I like that idea Teresa! So you used the same yarn? Do you have a ravelry page where I can see how yours turned out? Would love to see that 😄
I have the same Casasol yarn and made a tube top with it. It’s lovely and cool to wear.
Oh that’s great to hear! And yes my friend felt the swatch and the first thing she said is that it feels cool to the touch 😄
I really love the yarn that you got, and it all feels so you, but still a little different and diverse. Especially the darker one. Lento buddies!☺
Ah thank you girl 🥰🥰❤️ yeah I can’t wait! Yours is already looking so good!!
What beautiful yarn💖 really curious about the lana grossa suri silk🙈 I will send you some inspiration when I come across it😘
Thank you girl!! It sooo soft. You will see all of it in The Clubhouse 😄❤️
Wonderful yarns Fem ❤️ You could swatch the Wooldreamers yarn and make a long sleeved Misurina, holding the yarn double?
You're definitely making me interested in that idea Kelly 🤩
I love that little ceramic llama behind you! Can I ask where you got it from?
Thank you so much! But to be honest I don’t remember. 😂 I’ve had it for over 7 years I think. Still love it!
14:42 Daaamn who that? 👀

Stripe hype sweater with the saona yarn ?
Oehhh, okay I like the idea. Isn't that one dk though?

Thank you so much for letting me know, that would be a bummer indeed if they are too close!!
