The Kenzie yarn for the October Mystery Knit Along with Michelle Hunter and Skacel is here. There are 10 lovely fall colors in an merino, nylon, angora, alpaca blend with silk noils. It has a lovely feel to it, but it is very difficult to choose colors. We are using 4 colors (1 ball of each) to make a cowl. After much deliberation, I finally did get my colors chosen.
Now we can move on the the question that comes up from the above description--what is a silk noil? A noil is the residual short fiber left from combing silk. Because it is short fibers, it isn't very strong and is usually combined with other fiber for texture and contrast.
