I woke up, with a nasty start, in the middle of the night so that my
subconscious (nitpicker that it is) could point out that I had
confused Silk City Valencia, a lace-weight rayon tape, with Classic
Elite Avignon, a DK-weight pima cotton and tussah silk yarn.  The tees
will be made from the Avignon, because cotton and silk are very
comfortable in warm weather.  The Valencia will probably become
shawls.  Since I'd forgotten the Valencia in making my ten-year
estimate, I probably now have to bump it up to fifteen years.
