Aha!

Found the yarn labels: Regia 4 fadig Color # 5033.

I cast on some Lorna's Laces in the gorgeous Vera colorway last night, but soon discovered that with a 72 stitch count, there was going to be significant pooling. I've seen some beautiful socks in this yarn with no pooling, so I frogged and I am waiting for my size 1 and size o Knit Picks needles to arrive. I think a higher gauge will be better for this yarn than a looser one. If I knit my usual 7-8 stitches per inch, I'm afraid they won't last as long. So I guess I'll aim for 9-10 stitches per inch and see how that goes. I've now cast on 72 stitches of Lorna's Laces Sassy Stripes. We'll see how that goes....
