When I came back from the hair dressers this morning, there was a parcel waiting for me. I thought it was some yarn for a new secret design which is due to arrive this week. But it wasn't. It was some Falkland and Romney fibre I ordered last Friday at my friend's house. It's from Marn a Mi on Etsy. I've never spun Romney
and Falkland
before and fancied trying it. On initial touch, I like the Falkland, feels nice and soft. I'm not so sure about the Romney. Looks fab but not sure if it'll be soft enough. I also got a surprise batt in the parcel
and I'm not sure what blend it is but it looks gorgeous and I love the colours. Thank you Anne.

I'm in the middle of listing some more yarn on the website. Don't forget there is a BIG SALE on. The cheapest prices you'll find on luxury yarns. I've got hte rest of the Luscious Lace up and I'm now doing some Angel Sock (merino/tencel). Won't be able to finish that today but hopefully tomorrow. At Fibre Fest there was this one skein of Angel sock yarn which kept calling out to me. I nearly swiped it away so noone would buy it but then I thought I'd better now. But I promised myself if it was not sold I'd keep it for myself. So I was rather pleased when I came across it yesterday when I was taking photos of the yarn.
I love the shade of pink and the deep greyish plum. My perfect colour combo. I may knit myself some gorgeous, silky socks, or perhaps a shawlette? Decisions, decisions. There are lots of other colours I love too, especially Summer Apples and Sunshine. Check them out.

The only Romney I have spun was quite scratchy and I did not like it. I ended up blending it 75/25 with some angora which made it bearable to wear. Romney is definately for "outer wear" garments. The other fiber and yarn it lovely!
