Play time!

Today was “Get cool stuff in the mail” day at my house. In addition to an insurance statement that says, “This is not a bill, but you may be billed for these charges” with a total of over $1000 after it; I got this:
(Luckily I opened the yarn first. Mama didn’t raise me stoopid). You can’t even see the gorgeous blues in the bottom of the container. The red on top is really “Autumn Orange” and a bit more red than I would have thought. My original ideas for this yarn will have to be contemplated a bit. The box was literally splitting at the seams! All the yarn is w4 worsted super wash yarn from Shelridge Farms . I’m going to be doing some serious designing with it for some kid’s garments, or maybe one for me too. It’s more than enough to make quite a few sweaters. Oooh play time!
I also got this bundle of pretty colors & softness:
This is spinning fiber from Spunky Fibers. Every month I’ll get a different fiber handpainted by the wonderful Amy. The weight of it will be from 2 ounces to 6 ounces depending on the fiber type. Just enough to play around with and really have fun. All my current spinning projects are big huge “spin enough for a sweater” projects which takes a tiny bit out of the fun of experimenting and playing.
I also got two zippers from zipperstop.com; no picture, they are pretty boring. One zipper is for my Ribby Cardi and the other is for a friend. We were saving on postage by ordering together. You’ll see my zipper once it’s closer to being put in the sweater.
