The Bartlett yarn donated recently by Elizabeth is fantastic! The color is a tall pine tree on a cool winter day. The strand is thick - like cotton candy. An unlikely image: dark green cotton candy. After knitting for awhile, my fingers have the scent and feel of the lanolin-y wool. Feels like I'm knitting it right from a sheep (albeit a green sheep). By measurement, I am a third of the way towards completion. Cyndy
