Hi all
yet again I am stuck between perthshire and strathearn, my instinct says the weight is Perthshire (which probably means its strathearn ;D).
It has the minty green ground, with a 2-2-2-1 outer, 12 spokes, 3 rings and a single central cane.
It is a good size 7.5cm in diameter by 5.5cm.
The colours are very pretty on this weight.
many thanks
michelle

I am with you, Perthshire. It looks much too neat and evenly arranged for a Strathearn weight. Interesting to see that only 4 types of cane were used and that the inner and outer pattern is the same.

PS. I am definitely NOT an expert, but I have some of both types.

many thanks Ross, I hadnt actually noticed that the patterns where the same.
I think thats what make its so pleasing on the eye to me (a bit OCD me thinks)

p.s I appear to be having great difficulty posting today, not sure if its my computer or GMB, although I am having no difficulties on any other sites ???

Funny about the replying I had trouble trying to respond to the Papeerweight quiz from Rose. I made one response and more or less immediately realised I wanted to add to it and the GMB seemed to "freeeze" - so I got out and came back in and it worked.
