The yarn is Cascade Cloud9. I believe it is 50% merino wool and 50% angora. I absolutely love this yarn. It is soooo soft. It is worsted weight yarn and I am using a size 7 16" circular needle. I did try it on straights and just didn't like the weight of the needles. It's been a long time since I have used straight needles. Love the circulars. The pattern calls for DK weight yarn and size 6 needles, but this was the only pink yarn I have. I love this pattern. It is very easy and easy to remember.
I am also working on the Snowdrop Shawl from the Yarn Harlot. I am almost done with the shawl and then need to work the edging. Pics of that to come.
Also if you haven't heard Webs http://www.yarn.com is having their summer sale intil September 4 (I believe). Great yarn!! I have already placed 2 orders.
