Okay, I am more organized today.....
I have some answers! Yesterdays post I showed some yarn from AC Moore. It was called Atacama - 100% Alpaca - Hand Dyed by Araucania Yarns. The felted bag was made out of Araucania Nature Wool Chunky. (Same company) Phew! That's out of the way! Now run out and buy some! Just don't buy any in the greater Syracuse Area! Ha ha!
My Better Pal told me to watch my mail box and boy I didn't have to watch for too long! Lookie Lookie!
Now how did she know I like to knit socks? I almost fell down when I ripped it open! Lorna's Laces (color: Lakeview) and the Opal! OH MY GOD!!! There is a magnet at the top. She knows how much I like the Wizard of Oz! Then the pattern for the socks! Its a pattern for all of the left overs. Love her!
I think I mentioned that I dyed more yarn! Here you go
At first I wasn't entirely happy with the strawberry/lime colors. But I rewound the skein and it really looks nice. I used the Patons Classic Wool Merino. 100% Pure New Wool, 223 yards/204 meters. That's a lot of freakin yarn.
Guess what I am gonna do this weekend?

I love that yarn you dyed very pretty. You have quite the stash going on too. I tend to organize my stash like that too.....shitty stuff, wools, cotton, handspun, etc. And isn't A.C. Moore great? I have one at home in Pennsylvania, but they don't have one in Rochester where I go to college. You live in Syracuse?
I had a lot of fun at the fiber festival...I can't wait until next year....but at the moment I have WAYYY too much yarn and fiber..I've been doing good with my no yarn buying...but well...you saw the pictures of the fiber I bought. lol
