Take your Fiber Every Day for Good Health

Despite my bad experience at the LYS with that one roving; I couldn’t resist getting a few things online. This was waiting for me on the front porch today:
Say it with me now, "Ooooh. Yum"
The dark blue is a 100% Merino (Colonial - I think that might be a brand?). It looks really blue in the picture; but not so much in person. The color name of this one is Navy. After the sad purple/blue from the LYS, I thought this might make up for it.
I was right!
The lighter greyish blue was more of a shot in the dark. It’s a wool/silk combo and it was hard to tell from the picture or name of it what color it was. "McKenzie" is not a color name in my opinion. I thought it might have been more of a sage green; but it turns out to be more of a denim blue. The sheen on it is gorgeous. I think it’ll spin up really nicely.
Btw, I got these from http://www.kendigcottage.com/ . Great service. I got the order in 4 days total with a fairly reasonable shipping price. go order, tell ‘em I sent you - maybe I’ll get some free fiber (like I need it. That’s 3 lbs of fiber total in this picture alone).
