Kauni and Shetland

After going to my knitting group; and seeing some other Kauni that another member have (hi Janet!), I realized what was wrong with the other yarn I was looking at. It was too non-rustic. A heathery shetland yarn would be a much better match than the bright white, or bright cream that I was looking at.
A trip to my LYS today yielded these balls of yarn to try out. Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift in (left to right) Mooskit, Mogit and Moorit.
In a way I like the darkest one best; but think maybe it won’t have enough contrast with all the colors in the other yarn. The Mooskit almost looks like a light grey; the others read a bit more brown.
Any of them would work (except maybe not the darkest one); so now I have to decide on a pattern; how much of the background would I need, and then actually get knitting!

hmmmm….I really like the colorway of the Kauni. Not the rainbow-y type I see most often and definitely MY kind of colors. Just from the photo, I might think a grey of some sort might look good. Hard to say with it all wound up in a ball. Let us know what you finally decide.
