feeding my yarn habit

wonderful Agnes managed to snag one of these for me:

Lei, 4ply (sock weight) yarn, 65% merino / 20% bamboo / 15% silk. Each skein is 380 yards per 100g.

Name:
Midnight Feast

Colour Description:
Mulberry, black, navy, plum, crimson

Price per Skein:
£13.00

but 2 of these jumped out of her basket before she checked out:

Charlotte 4ply, sock weight 50% silk / 50% merino yarn. Each skein is 100g / 350 yards.

Name: Heathcliff

Colour Description: Black, silver, fuschia, plum, gold, charcoal

Price per Skein: £13.00

so after paying Dee for the midnight feast, I spent the next hour and a half hunting for consolation yarns at yarnandfiber (10% discount off MSRP and free shipping) -- got some silk lace and wool-silk lace:

• Schaefer Andrea Lace weight - Indira Gandhi - 100% silk 3.5oz 1093 yds
• Mountain Colors Winter Lace Yarn - Red Willow - 50% Wool, 50% Silk lace weight yarn ~100g ~1200 yds

so that's nearly $150 on yarn this morning and it's not yet 9am :-)

now back to my many wips, strewn across jh's side of the bed (he'll be back tonight from his Gippsland ride) and I really should do some work on my part of Wed's iphone dev workshop
