I’ve been asked to post some yummy yarn goodness. Here are some laceweights I picked up recently from Knitpicks. Knitpicks was having a big ol’ sale and I got them cheaper than I usually get my Skacel, and it is far superior yarn! (plus I am getting more yarn for that cheaper price! It rocks!)
I picked up 2 100% Merino laceweights:
I think I will be using the blue for Secret of the Stole Knit along rather than the taupe Skacel. I’ll save the taupe for a shawl as there is so much of it!
I also got a variegated yarn, this one is 70% baby alpaca/30% silk:
And now for my favorite of the group. 100% baby alpaca and soft as soft can be. Also so light!
Wow. I bet you need a nice swift to work with that yarn! 😛
Indeed I do! In fact, I refuse to ball any of this until I get my swift! I refuse to ball ANY of my yarn stash until I receive my swift. Yes, I am terribly excited!
Delish! 🙂
Loving seeing the progress on the swift too.
Now if only I can convince him to make me a spinning wheel……..
Shells, it is posts like these that drive me to spend too much money at LYS on my lunch hour!! I think I might start sending you the bill in fact!
The intensity and vibrancy of the colours you’ve picked….just fantastic!
