I have been looking for the perfect yarn to do an Icarus shawl for about a year. I have bought one or two but for some reason they just didn't look right or feel right. I don't know, one of those funny annoying things. I am hoping, however, that this is it. Silk and plenty of it in a beautifully dramatic colourway and due to the bird like name - Rooky- rather appropriate I feel.

Sian- I'm doing an "Icky" right now.
Oh that's beautiful. I would adore a scarf or shawl (or anything) in that.
Loved your photos of your day trip the other day. One of my best friends is from Wales - can't remember where (the other from Yorkshire), which reminds me I must call her...
I can answer to Kate in just about any accent now. :)
Pod: I can spin 'em alright, but may you be forgiven for that moley comment :)
Lorraine: I know and I know yours will be fabulous. Mine? Hmmnnn...we might see it in about three years.
Kate: I know what you mean about accents. Some of my American friends call me Shaun which I still fail to answer to as over here it is a boys name. I wonder what Sian sounds like in Australian flavour?
