Leaping Lizards

We love all the Noro yarns and we recently ordered a new one, Silk Garden Light. This is a DK version of the current aran-weight Silk Garden. It's 45% silk, 45% kid mohair, 10% lambswool, 125 metres per ball and knits to a 20-22 stitch gauge on 4.0 - 4.5mm needles. We'll start with 5 colours, 2013, 2028, 2030, 2031 and 2033:

A terrible photo, I know, but it's the best we have. Come into the store for a better look, it should arrive any day.
