Ok I admit it, I have a yarn habit and the thought of not being able to feed my habit is a little daunting but I really want that spinning wheel. Not that I can actually use one yet you have to understand but I really really want one. So I'd better share the last of my newly acquired stash purchases before I go into withdrawal.
Debbie Bliss Pure Silk. This is my first DB purchase and tbh, I think it's usually far too pricey but this is amazingly soft and strokeable and incredibly cheap at £2.50 a skein. I was restrained and only picked up 3 which should be enough for a small shawl, maybe even another Forest Canopy.
4 balls of Patons Misty for a North Roe Shawl. Yes it is black and no I'm not completely crazy, my cousin is a bit of a goth (actually that's a huge understatement, she's a mega goth!) and needs a new shawl.
The last of the stash is another ball of Opal sock yarn. Crap colour but mega bargain and I can over-dye it to something more useable.
This last thing is not really stash but a pattern to help me use some stash - my Fibertrends clog pattern. I've been preparing skeins for the dye pot this afternoon so I should be able to have a go at my first pair this weekend. Yay. Even bigger yay, the child's size pattern goes up to a 9" foot so I'm hoping I might even be able to squeeze a pair out for even my mega big feet.
Oh and today I made myself something to make my life easier, a niddy noddy. Why oh why didn't I get one earlier, it's so quick to wind up yarn with! No more backache from prepping my yarn to dye, fabulous.
