Didymos Nautilus aqua

This 100% cotton Didymos Nautilus aqua is even prettier in real life. It has this amazing sheen and the colours are very bold. Feels rather thin. I forgot to weigh them before I sold them, I'm sorry!

Didymos Pfau violet with 50% linen

An unexpected surprise release: Pfau violet with 50% linen. The linen yarn is the same as Pfau ecru with linen. These Pfaus are inverse from all the other linen Pfaus. And they are woven with two colours instead of three: the usual black thread is missing.

According to Didymos these Pfaus were not planned. They were supposed to be Pfau ecru but the wrong yarn was used on the loom. I love the way this 'accident' turned out!

Also special: mamas in the USA had their Pfaus sooner than mamas in Europe. That must have made a lot of overseas mamas very happy.

The weight is 1.026 grams for a size 6.

Didymos Indio Grass with hemp

The very first Didymos limited edition with hemp: Didymos Grass! Some time ago I suggested a coloured hemp Indio to Didymos. I know it's difficult, expensive and not environmentally friendly to dye hemp. So I suggested using coloured cotton and natural undyed hemp. And here it is! The colour is very hard to capture, but I've tried.

I'd say this is on the thin side, especially for a hemp. The weight is 781 grams for a size 6. It's not stiff at all, it feels rather moldable right out of the box. I'm sure it will soften up nicely after a wash, a (steam) iron and some use.

Confusing: Didymos stated on their website that the label was wrong: it's 50% hemp instead of 40%. But then the label on the box also says 40%? The box label is usually right...

[edit 2011-04-04] I have asked Didymos and they have confirmed that Indio Grass is definitely made of 50% hemp and 50% organic cotton.
