I was planning to do half a year's shopping at Bendigo, and I really think it's going to be cancelled. Also, with my small stash, I just started to feel a bit panicky last Sunday, so I bought some yarn from The Purl Box. I love these guys, and actually have the privilege of knowing them in real life.
Their "shop brand" that they dye themselves is called Oyster yarns, and I bought 3 of the Edens Blend and 3 of the Fluff to make ...something. i might just make a slightly oversized raglan with the yarns held together, although I am open to any suggestions.
The Eden's Blend is a smooth BLF, silk and cashmere, and the Fluff is mohair and silk, so it will be quite the luxury jumper.
I also bought some Field of Dreams, to replace the jumper that I knot Leon last year, and felted on blocking. I went for the dark green and it is stunning. Field of dreams is a locally produced yarn, made of Polworth, Suri and linen. Stunning,
I also threw in this teal sock yarn - it is much tealer in real life - just because I could.
Now I'm only waiting for another couple of delayed packages - but the joy they give me as they gradually make their way here is delightful.
(Stash count is now 14,372 which is where I thought it would be after Bendigo, so I'm comfortable with that.)
