#internet says plotulopi is almost as soft as nutiden and much stronger and a bit thicker

[foxcassius]

i ordered da yarn

#i bought plotulopi to make matching shawls for jiwon's mom and i as well as a cardigan for his dad #and then lettlopi to make jiwon and i matching colorwork sweaters #i had to buy like 5 colors of lettlopi. but the sweaters are going to rule #they'll be mostly dark red with the colorwork in pine green + bright yellow + light light sky blue + some white #internet says plotulopi is almost as soft as nutiden and much stronger and a bit thicker #i might add a mohair or alpaca laceweight to jiwon's dad's sweater to get gauge and make it a bit softer #but i think i will do the shawls single stranded....since the end size of them doesn't matter as much #i will have to learn to knit MUCH looser over these next 5 months #plotulopi will just break if you knit too tight I Guess so i will start with jiwon's mom's shawl to get the hang of it #(i would start with my own shawl to make all the mistakes but i want to ensure his parents' stuff is ready before we go to the us in dec) #t
