There has been a wee amount of stash enhancement over here lately...
First, I won this batt of Bramble Lane fiber from the Phat Fiber blog, and it arrived in the mail yesterday. I was so excited to grab the squishy package out of my mailbox! This is White Finn and natural colored wool, and it's called Chocolate-Vanilla Swirl. I'm not sure how much it weighs yet.
I think I might separate the white from the brown, and if they weigh about the same, spin them separately and ply them together.
MadTosh is having a sale this weekend, so since I still had a Groupon, I had to indulge a bit. Last night at the knitting group at MadTosh, a few of us sat around the bins of yarn going on sale and claimed the ones we wanted, although we had to wait until today to buy them on sale.
This is Tosh Lace in Rosewood. I see it as a very delicate lace shawlette.
This one is Tosh Merino Light in Cove. Probably another shawlette.
That's probably the only stash enhancing I'll do for a bit. I need to get through the seven works in progress I have!
I particularly like the blend of browns and blues in the Tosh merino light, it will make a beautiful shawl. I shall look out for a blog about spinning the Bramble lane too (love the colour name) - Oh I wish I could spin, but then I would have to begin a fourth stash (I already have yarn, fabric and haberdashery!!)
ReplyDeleteI missed the sale...had too much going on around here. Love your new things.
