Comments: This is the old version of this yarn, the kind that actually contained pure merino wool. I used smaller needles to get a firm fabric which helps the flowers stand out. Admittedly, this is more of a block/panel than a swatch, but at least I learned a new way to make bobbles! :)
this is lovely
