has been sponsored by:Have you tried Tencel?
Abstract Fiber has merino/ Tencel blend yarn and fibers. With warm
weather coming, Tencel blends are just right. They're cooler than pure
wool and have a smooth sleek surface. MightySock makes a great warp yarn
for lightweight woven scarves perfect for spring days and cool summer
evenings. The drape of Tencel shows lace off beautifully. Check
AbstractFiber.com to puchase merino/tencel blends online or for a list
