One of the joys of travelling to shows around the country is meeting up with email friends so it was great to see Juliet again on Thursday with another visit promised for Saturday.
This time she was bubbling over at discovering an alpaca farm a short walk away from her home. She was generous enough to bring me a small selection of their wonderful yarn and I need to share this with all of the other alpaca fans out there!
I love this business card!
Wonderful yarn just begging me to knit it! think I might have to find a suitable Scottish project - perhaps Sanquar gloves.
Future shawl - what do you think Fred? Is this a suitable colour for the MIL?
Warning - don't drop the skein when trying to wind this loopy nylon - it toook me 7 hours to undo the tangle of knots. I can't actually face knitting with it now!
A new yarn from Wendy - I'm not at all sure what to make of it , I find the way of working fiddly and I'm not sure if I'm ready for all those frills
This yarn knits up in frills and depending which way you start the ball you get a different colour frill - what do you think?

Posted by: nic at March 11, 2006 11:50 AMI recognise the Wendy wool. One of the ladies at the Bingley group was testing it out a couple of months back. I wondered what it was called. Will have to get some "later" and give it a go myself.
Like the wool for MIL. I do spy six balls - has someone else been buying as well ?
At least the detangling of the nylon kept you out of mischief for a while - hee hee
Posted by: Fred at March 11, 2006 09:46 AMI love the alpaca and the frilly yarn, I am sorry I am not home to come and visit the show.
