My order turned up today
Yes, yes, yes more yarn came today if I don’t already have enough yarn to last me the year out and the rest.
I had three different kinds of yarn come today, to for items I need to knit and one just to try out.
I had three balls for a baby cardigan, 12 balls for an adult cardigan and one ball of fluff, well it feels like it, it’s so soft.
The ball of fluff is brushed baby Alpaca silk, maybe I'll knit a baby blanket with it or bonnet not totally sure yet.
I will write more about this all in my knitting site.
Going to be busy lol.

Isn't it fun to get new yarn? Especially when I comes in the mail? I will be getting a small package that has handspun yarn and a few other little goodies in it that will be coming from the UK. I won it in a giveaway!

@kevin1877uk I'm sure I will enjoy the yarn. I've seen a photo of the items and the yarn looks lovely. I'll post a photo of it here when it arrives.

Good question and I'm not totally sure because I made the pattern up, its for the cardigan I've posted here before, but it a different yarn, but a small size by 2 inches. I've sure I have enough but now thinking maybe I should have order 14 instead of 12.

@JudyEv Same here and I normally have plenty, but you have left me wondering because I'm not totally sure how much I need, so I've ordered another 2 more just in case and some other items too. It's better to have more than you really need and I can use it for something else if I have too much.

@kevin1877uk It used to be quite tricky here sometimes trying to get the same dye lot so I was wondering how you got around that problem.

I don't really know, I've never used Alpaca before, so it's really just something I'm trying out. I'll post what I've knitted with it.

Alpaca wool is soft and warm. I love alpaca socks in winter

Yes, I do and have been knitting for 40+ years. I have written many posts here about the items I've knitted. I sell on Etsy and have my own knitting website. I started knitting at the age of 7 for a school project, I asked my mom to show me how to knit and the rest is history so they say lol.

I think alpaca is mixed with silk also to make it Alpaca silk.

@kevin1877uk I think that this can be the reason.
