This package arrived a few days ago.
Whatever could it be?
Yarn. What a surprise.
Eight 116 gm skeins, probably about 2000 yards, of fire-engine red woolly goodness. Maybe superwash, maybe a wool blend, but BRIGHT and soft and yummy.
Two skeins of Brooks Farm Limited Edition I in a mottled brick red and brown, mmmmmm.
One skein of Brooks Farm Acero in a mottled blue-brown, ditto.
The red is destined for charity knitting. It is a fat worsted weight, perfect for hats and mittens and warm sweaters.
What will I make with the Brooks Farm? Um... Look, over there, a badger with a gun! Do you see him?*
In other words, I don't know yet. It would be perfect for a lacy shawl. However, I. Do. Not. Knit. Lace. (Yet.) Time will tell.
You may remember that Norma had a destash sale on New Year's Day; I didn't make my "no yarn in 2008" resolution until a few days later. Therefore I did not break my resolution, nope, not me, uh-uh, no way.
