Packages
Today I came back from the post office with 2 packages.
The first one that I opened was from A Piece of Vermont. All the yarns and rovings from there are hand-dyed by Jessie from What Housework!.
The package contained 2 rovings I ordered on Sunday. The first one is Waltzing Matilda, a 100% BFL roving.
The second one is called Peridot, an Addison "Real Vermonter" Roving in 60% Romney/Corriedale, 30% mohair and 10% alpaca.
The second package that I opened was from my mom. She was in Vancouver a few weeks ago and found this in a yarn store and thought that I would enjoy them. My 30th birthday is in a few days and this makes a wonderful present from my mom! Thank you Mom!
The book is Lucy Neatby's "Cool Socks Warm Feet" and the yarn is On Line in Tropic Color #930. It will make very pretty stockinette socks! : )
