Stashing.......................................

A number of parcels arrived this week. I got 4 Phildar catalogues of knitting patterns, one in French as they had run out of the english one, but I have some french and will be able to use the other catalogues as 'codebooks' to translate :) I hope.

The first yarn parcel was from Dee at Posh Yarns.

Posh Yarns Eva 4ply in Peacock




Posh Yarns Eva in Willow.
The 2nd yarn parcel was from Alice at Socktopus, this lucky girl is going to sock camp!

Handmaiden Casbah in Nova Scotia for socks.





Chameleon Colorworks Evolution in Cobalt Blue




Mountains in the Moonlight by Indigo Moon


The 3rd yarn parcel was from a fellow raveler who helped me out a lot, thanks :)

Remember I wanted the yarn for this, well it's here double quick, 14 skeins of Urban Silk. Yummy!! :)




The 5th yarn parcel was this:

some 100% aran wool I bought for felting from New Lanark Mills. It was less than £1 per 50grams! I am keen to see how it felts. I t feels like Rowanspun Aran which felts beautifully.


I now need more furniture to store this all......................if only I didn't see so much lovely yarn and have such desire to knit the lovely patterns out there!!

Wow, gorgeous yarn. I love Eva. I've got the same base yarn as Eva now in laceweight (Luscious Lace). And I've got a skein of Cashbah too but in a different colourway. It's stunning.
