Pearl Cotton for braiding
November 4th, 2005 at 8:42 pm (braiding)
I’ve only made one braid so far, but there are hundreds of patterns to try in the two books that I bought. It was an absolute necessity that I buy some yarn to experiment with. I was overwhelmed by the choices of Pearl Cotton on cones (they wind off any amount that you want for you). I literally stood there stunned for a few minutes. After a while, I started picking up a color here and there, looking at it, holding it with others. Finally, two appealed to me, and then a third popped out.
The colors here aren’t quite accurate - the green looks more yellow to me here than it is in real life. (That’s the one that popped out at me). I can imagine many ways that these will look good together. I got about 1ounce of each to play around with. After all, I don’t know what I’m going to do with the braids, except make them

It looks pretty neat. I’ve never tried any of that, but I love the colors you chose for braiding.
