Part of the process involves testing.
I've had a skein of this new base kicking around for a while.
I've been thinking of adding this yarn, but it's been a low priority. The only decision I had made was that I was undecided. The other day I was dyeing, and the lonely skein caught my eye.
I was already in deep with dyeing - one more pot wasn't going to make a difference.
The next step was to knit up a sample.
I can't say that I've made any decisions, but I do like the way this feels. I'll play around with the swatch some more before reaching a verdict. It's all part of the process.

What a difficult job to have, isn't it? Beautiful color on the new yarn!
I've got a new base I just finished testing and introduced at a show a few weeks ago - now to get my lazy self to photograph it :)
Ooh, it looks pretty and has a nice tight twist. What is the base?
Yes, it does have a nice twist - that's part of the attraction. It's a merino / cashmere / nylon blend.
