I'm still worried about the "granny-ness" of it and thought that maybe a different color would fix the problem. But the whole idea of this table runner was to make a project to use up my 1 lb cone of cotton in Ecru. I pondered the idea of skeining the cone and dying it.
Saturday I happened to be in Rutland and went to Michael's. I browsed the yarn, not really needing anything. Then I saw it: gigantic, dinosaur egg sized balls of cotton in different colors. I can't even find this yarn online to link to, but here's a picture of the new table runner I've stared in a "custard creme" colorway:
That's a fairly washed out picture, but I wanted to show you the name of the yarn: Lily Sugar 'n Cream Confectionary Colors. Here's a more accurate representation of the color:
Does that look too mustardy? Is a pretty maize color, I promise.
14 oz of yarn. I also got a sage green ball. If you go to Rutland, go to Michael's for this yarn. There are lots of different colors. Retail at the store was $7.99 per ball.
