Watermelon socks

Kiwiyarns has knitted some watermelon socks

Oh...silk!

I have waited and waited and now it has finally arrived: 100% mulberry silk!

It's luscious and soft and the sheen is just amazing. It has that typical smell of pure silk.

I will dye it on Friday. Aqua? Denim blue? Beetroot? Dark red?
Exciting!
