I thought it was cute, so I did a quick google on the yarn, Schaefer Yarn&#8217;s Marjaana, a 50% merino wool\/50% silk blend. The first site I visited listed it as $54 a skein, so I figured I had come across some, I dunno, Antarctic site that had a different currency or something. I went to a different site, and again $54 per skein! This means bpt is more than $160 to knit! Aiyaaaa! If I make it, I&#8217;ll be looking for a substitute yarn, that&#8217;s for sure.
