Today Ruth and I visited Raasiku yarn factory (manufacturer of Aade Lõng aka Kauni). I cannot express in writing the joy and the beauty of it; I am sure knitters would understand it anyway.
Lõngu on mitmesuguseid, ühe- ja mitmevärvilisi.
There are plenty of yarns, one- and multicolour.
Otsustada on raske, siiski oli mul enne juba mingi plaan olemas.
It is difficult to decide; however, I had had a sort of plan before the trip.
Kohe näitan oma oste. Siin on roheline 8/2 (100 g/400 m) USA sõbrale.
I am going to show my purchases now. Here is variegated green 8/2 (100 g/400 m) for a friend in USA.
Ise plaanisin osta 8/1, 8/2 ja 8/3 lõnga, nii et üks neist oleks ka üleminekulõng. See on 8/1 (100 g/800 m), muide, uus värvikombinatsioon. Rätikulõng, mõistagi.
For myself I planned 8/1, 8/2 and 8/3, one of them variegated. Here is 8/1 (100 g/800 m), by the way, this is a new colour combination. It is a shawl yarn, of course.
8/3 (täpselt metraaži ei tea, aga see on DK jämedus) helehall on mulle jakik.
8/3 (don't know m/g relation but it is some kind of DK yarn) light grey is for my cardigan.
Ja lõpuks ilus erepunane 8/2 (100 g/ 400 m), kas topiks või rätikuks.
And finally a nice bright red 8/2 (100 g/ 400 m), either for a top or a shawl.
Müüja oli hästi sõbralik ja seltsiv. Ta arutas meiega, mis värve võiks veel teha. Näiteks rääkisime, et võiks olla türkiis-must üleminekulõng (türkiisi eraldi ja musta eraldi on). Siis võiks olla veel peedipunane, sellist heiet juba tehakse. Ühesõnaga, nüüd muudkui kududa! Hea on see, et üks varrukas on juba täitsa valmis ja alustasin teist.
The saleswoman was rather friendly and talkative. She discussed a possibility of new colours with us. For instance, we agreed that there could be a turquoise black variegated yarn (there is a turquoise one and a black one already). Then there could be a beetroot red, they already produce a pre-yarn in this colour. Anyway, to knitting now! It is good that I have completed one sleeve and started the second one.
