I originally bought this yarn at the Taos Wool Festival last year. The color and texture captivated me. And the smell! This is the best smelling yarn I’ve ever bought.

This skirt is made for winter. It’s made out of 100% wool and lined with fleece fabric. I got pretty warm taking these photos.

Feather and fan has become my favorite lace pattern. It’s easy to memorize and looks so pretty.

I didn’t make a fitted waist, choosing to go with elastic and a drawstring instead. Since it’s for the cold months this will be the outer layer over tights or long underwear or pants (or all three).

I’m really happy with this skirt! It turned out just how I wanted. The embroidery was a pain but completely worth the effort.
