If you didn’t know this already, here’s a confession: I’m a hardcore yarn addict. Seriously. Wool fumes are a dangerous thing for me, especially when combined with an insanely gorgeous hand dyed speckled yarn. The picture above shows some yarn I saw recently at Hand Held Knitting, my LYS extraordinaire, which is far too close to my house and full of wonderful knitters, and I had to have it so bad it hurt. It wasn’t even out on the floor for sale yet. It was still packed up in boxes and Cynthia gave us a peek. I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that I would be devastated if I couldn’t turn that colorful hank of yarn into something delightful, so I got it. What is this exquisite gem of a skein, you ask? It’s Rhichard Devrieze Yarns, Peppino, in the colorway The Flowers. I know Cynthia is going to sell out of this yarn in about five seconds, so it was a have-to kind of thing, right? If you’re a Koigu lover this style will be familiar to you. This dyer has also worked for Koigu. I’m going to turn this into a Marin shawl, since I would really like another one of those shawls, and I’d like to turn this into a piece I could wear often. I’m making myself finish Still Light this week before I really get going on something else. 
The pretties

Oh! That is possessed of some serious gorgeousness!
I’m dribbling on my iPad screen just looking at the yarn. You definitely made the right choice snapping those beauties up. I think they will make a stunning shawl.
I saw the YRD worsted weight recently, it’s amazing! I may have to get some!
Gorgeous!
Such cool yarn! I have some Rhichard Devrieze yarn in beautiful sea blues and greens marinating in the stash. Now you’ve got me thinking about what it could become…
I have just made friends with him on FB and this is amazing!!!
I LOVE Rhichard Devries! It’s the stippling thing that gets me, I think!
I agree! The stippling sets it apart from other amazing hand dyed yarns.
Looking forward to seeing this worked up. Very pretty!
I had never even heard of Rhichard before! It looks stunning, can’t wait to see how it knits up!
I totally understand!!!
The colours are absolutely wonderful. They remind me of art, and paining, and brushes, and ateliers … Gorgeous!
So lovely! Perfect name for this colorway!
Very pretty yarn – I’m drooling along with the rest! Visiting a yarn store has the same effect on me as when I walked into a candy store as a child. Wonderland!
