I love the colours of the bright pink one. Gorgeous :-)

Wish my Three Irish Girls yarn would hurry up and arrive :-( Looking forward to seeing the soakers you make with yours

did you order the BFL? We've been waiting on it forever because it was out of stock...
I imagine it takes sooo long to get to you!

nope, Lindon and Galenas merinos. I ordered when they had a sale so maybe they were really busy which is why it's taken a while. I don't buy yarn from the US very often, it's too expensive now with the rubbish exchange rate, plus shipping as well. There are a couple of lovely uk WAHM's I like using.

I do have a hankering for some more 100pw and some peacefleece though... Maybe after Christmas I'll treat myself lol

I've only knitted it once but I've got a skein of it hand dyed in my stash. Elliebelly I think. It's one I keep meaning to try properly and just haven't got round to. I tend to use BFL or OM cos they're easy for me to get hold of

yet another on my list of yarns to try. Doubt it will be any time soon due to the cost. It looks gorgeous knitted up though

the one downfall for soakers- it's superwash

exactly!!
if you ever want me to pick some up from the store and ship it to you I could. The worsted weight runs about $18 a skein.

lol don't tempt me!

Maybe we could do a swap some time next year. I'll send you some UK wahm dyed yarn and you send something from the US?
