Well, I knit a blanket for my parents with a kit from Fleece Artist that used 3 different textured yarns in coordinating colors. The pattern I used was a Cat Bordani (sp?). It came out very artistic and beautiful.

Buy a nice deep purple or other coordinating colour for the ribbing or edging on the neckline, sleeves and bottom. If you don't have as much yarn as you would like for length, do a deeper ribbing for the bottom. But I think with the amount of yarn you spun you should be okay (not that I have any idea what size you would be knitting!).Crystalhttp://www.knitfreak.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25604704.post-76816581107452483562010-01-08T08:46:43.020-05:002010-01-08T08:46:43.020-05:00great yarns! i love the colors. i bet a pretty sha...great yarns! i love the colors. i bet a pretty shawl would be great in this yarn. you could combine them if you used a simple lace pattern, like the feather n fan comfort shawl.knottygnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645875149236777360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25604704.post-56237584170165472742010-01-08T08:22:30.569-05:002010-01-08T08:22:30.569-05:00Very pretty...you have to find something you can w...Very pretty...you have to find something you can wear...the colors are perfect for wearing with jeans.
