New Yarn Brings Joy to my World

We had a busy and outdoorsy Saturday with soccer game, tennis practice and some shopping. The little one did great on her first soccer game. I didn't cry (surprisingly). Her confidence and ability to play in a team made us very proud parents. There are no words to describe the feeling!

On the wool front end, I am beyond excited to show some new yarn. It is hard to be the wife of a busy traveler...but my husband sure knows how to win me back in a split of a second. Like when he shows up with gorgeous yarn that he bought for me while on a business trip.

This skein holds 329 yards (100g) of super soft Peruvian alpaca. The red and brown tones are beyond spectacular in person.


The second skein is simple, serene and beautiful fingering weight from Oink Pigments. I am looking for the perfect shawl pattern for the 420 yards (100g) of this super soft Merino. Any ideas?


Hug your stash; enjoy the rest of the weekend.

      I've never knit with 100% alpaca...but it looks promising :-) Thanks for your comment Kat. Have a great week

      Hi Tahnee. I love the yarn and even more his story about hitting a few LYS before finding the one with late hours :-) Those are two special skeins. Have a great week.
