Those “holes” in my Ravelry stash  page have been bugging me so, while I had my light tent out, I’ve been doing a little catching up. I love the way that a few small changes make such a huge difference to my photographs.
Although these images were still a little slapdash. I improved on them throughout [...]

A little while ago I was successful in bagging a beautiful skein of laceweight wool via the p/hop Ravelry group. Rav user fey packaged it up and sent it off to me and it arrived here this morning.
I haven’t got the colours quite right – the photos were taken in artificial light. Think Royal Purple [...]

I think it’s an addiction, why else would I acquire more stash? I’m never going to knit my way though what I have already! And then there’s all those fleeces to spin…
Anyway, I fed my habit:
Kelpie, from The Yarn Yard. Laceweight cashmere. Colour: Paprika.
This is wound already and poised to make a shawl in September. [...]

At long last, the Ocean Drift roving is all spun up and skeined.

A pretty yarn, very silky and with much drape.

Project details and photographs.

The yarn which was ordered from Uruguay via Etsy on 3rd May, with a 30 day delivery estimate, arrived this morning. The quality looks good – think Malabrigo, but fine and even. It’s not all that fine, considering the length 950 yards to 50 gms – it’s a lofty single, soft spun.

The disappointing part was the colour

Photo post – green things – green yarny things.

I recently swapped the remaining Kauni Rainbow EQ for two skeins of Malabrigo Merino Worsted.

Here they are

The first is named Vaa…

New stash from Kingcraig Fabrics.

This is an 850grm cone of 75% lambswool/25% silk. I am planning to knit myself a top from this, and also several pairs of fingerless mitts.

I am fairly sure that this doesn’t count as stash enhancement, seeing as it was gifted to me. It’s Paton’s “Jet” – an alpaca and wool combination chunky weight yarn. I got two balls in a RAK package and fell instantly in love with it.

This is the same yarn as I am knitting the Pink Swallowtail in. The pink Hamsa scarf came off the same cone.

I love this yarn and when I saw the delectable violet blue, I was smitten. Totally.
