A New Yarn

 A silk sari 'yarn' to knit on large needles.
Not so easy on the hands but the color sure is a right and proper fix for me!
I don't know but what I will rip this out and start knitting from the bottom up and then I can go around and around until I run out of yarn instead of hoping I will have enough to do all the decreases!
This is the ball of silk all wound up and the instructions that came for this month's kit from the DarnGoodYarn Company. 
 It's nice to be pushed from your knitting comfort zone!
