I had some wonderfully colourful birthday presents a couple of months ago
These two cakes came from an exciting new
crafty shop recently opened nearby.
It caters for all stitchers!
It was difficult to choose from all the exciting colours and textures; a fabulous feast for the eyes and fingers!
Very helpfully a winding service is offered for a donation to charity..well worth it to save the air at home going blue!
The wool below is 55% BFL and 45% silk 4ply in Lemon Rind, it is sooo soft, has lots of yellow tones and is one of the shops own hand dyed yarns.
I'm sure I'll be back for more of their wonderful unique colourways.
These vibrant colours are a Superbiffle - Carousel from
Easyknits.
As the choice was so tricky RW Jnr had the final say on this one!
I had taken a photo of some Easter blooms earlier in the week we went shopping, as I had been captured by their colour combinations and thought it might be useful for future projects.
When we returned home I wondered if we had all been influenced by the vibrant tulips?
Another present I received, from my sister-in-law just shows how much she gets my love of colour, and bags!
My fabulous friend
Tracey from school and blogland picked up a thread I had mentioned and sent me a new toy!
I have had a couple of spins!
The first was really a non-starter, but after a bit more reading and video watching I did get moving and a bit of fluff was spun!
As I usually hook or felt small pieces I am aiming for some arty yarn with plenty of colour, variable texture and weight (just as well!!) so hope to use some of the future spun yarn in my projects!
Whilst adding to my yarn stash I am busting my fibre!
I am really pleased I have been using some of my collected wool in the
stashbuster challenge as it has made me appreciate the new additions even more!
I wonder what this will be.....?
