Japanese Feathers

 

 

 

Shimmering Cranes

This is one of those "journey" pieces. I had a gift of money which to me, at the time, meant an indulgence of yarn. I wanted something special that I could wear to the opera with my vintage jewels. This in itself is a jewel. It is double knit with Shibui Silk Cloud and Habu textiles 100% Bamboo  This was a really lovely pairing. You can see how each yarn has it's own shimmer to it. Combined they are just magic! It almost glows in the right light and it has that slight fluffiness about it. It is lovely to wear. One of those things that just makes you feel luxurious. 

The pattern of the lace is called Japanese Feathers. The yarns are both imported from Japan. It all just works. I love all things Japanese, so this is a good one.  I did make it to wear to the opera, but I discovered that it also really complimented my black faux fur coat.
