No words

I got mail today. Black Bunny Fiber mail. Last Monday in a fit of really not needed retail therapy (combined with yarn therapy) I ordered some more of Carol's much wanted hand dyed sock yarn. Three skeins. If you were one of the unlucky souls who didn't get to order some - blame it on my greed. (Rolf, if you are reading this, I have a good explanation for each one of the three skeins. Seriously.)

This is my loot.

Exciting. Splendiferous, each single one.

And then, then...it happened. There was a fourth skein. One I didn't order but knew about because Carol told me of it. Actually, she said "Hee-hee, I just finished dyeing a laceweight for you. I'll pop it in with your sock yarn." That's what I call a serious yarn teaser. I had no idea what to expect. I took it out of the envelope. I stared at it. I read the label, my jaw dropped, my eyes glazed over, I started breathing heavily and, for one of the rare occasions in my life, I was speechless. And screeching inside. (If I had screeched as I wanted to, my husband would have died of a heart attack.) I think you could call this "la petite mort de laine" - a yarn orgasm indeed.

I was of the opinion that the "Upper Voltage" colourway was as good as it gets a combination - it is in its own way. But, but - again, speechless - look at this!


I-know-it-doesn't-look-it-even-though-I-have-fotographed-it-in-natural-light-and-took-a-lot-of-pictures-to-catch-the-colours-just-right-but-I-do-solemnly-swear-that-Carol-managed-to-get-them-JUST-RIGHT-and-the-yarn-really-looks-just-like-my-sofa.

Excuse me while I catch my breath. That's not all.


How cool is that???

Carol, thank you so much - this laceweight is very special to me and I treasure every yard!!
