Shh, keep it quiet...


Goddess of all things wonderful and woolly - Kerrie - came to see me today and look at this for a present that came with her. 44 skeins of wonderful hand-dyed wool all the way from somewhere in Germany. Lucky, lucky me! I just can't decide what to make with it all. Flowers? Bags? Embellishments? Sleeves for a cardigan? Front of a waistcoat? (I never have been one for under-stated and pale clothes!) There's over 400 metres of wool here! I think that for the moment I'll just admire it, put it in a little wooden bowl - er, big wooden bowl - and gaze fondly at it! Maybe give it the occasional stroke as I pass by...
She also brought some other yarn with her, which of course I had great trouble refusing to buy - pictures of that another day when husband isn't looking!

Wow, you are lucky, that will certainly keep you busy for a while! Fab colours - I think Picperfic has hit on a great idea for displaying them.
