Oh my.
So guess what arrived in the mail today? My Koigu! Not that I've been obsessively tracking it on the UPS website or anything...
It is beautiful. It is possibly more beautiful than I was expecting. I love it and I'm wondering if I should immediately order more...
I must say that I love it more than any of the Koigu I saw in the store. See for yourself!
Koigu Painter's Palette Premium Merino in p115:
I was going to rush home and start knitting with it but, seriously, I almost can't bear to undo the skein and wind it into a ball, let alone knit it! I just want to pet it!
Speaking of not being able to bear to knit it, here is the Manos I bought the other day.
Manos del Uruguay handspun multi in wildflowers 113 and mulled wine 118:
Isn't that just so so pretty? I especially love wildflowers (the lighter one) but both are delicious.
And finally, here is the Sublime Kid Mohair and Artful Yarns Virtue, also bought last week. You can see why I'm dying to buy some glass display jars now, can't you? I might have to buy a swift and ball winder too, so I can wind pretty balls.
Sublime Kid Mohair in pistachio 22 and venetian green 27 with Artful Yarns Virtue in fortitude 5 and temperance 6:
THAT YARN IS BEAUTIFUL. I am so excited!
(Umm, it's okay to wear fingerless gloves in summer, right? Because seriously, how can I possibly be expected to wait until WINTER? Am I made of stone?)

Maybe you can vacation somewhere cold?!!! Or go to highly air conditioned places?!!!

The colors are LOVELY! I especially love Koigu and Manos... and have lots of untouched skeins of it... just in case they discontinue the colors.
How could they?
Beautiful!!

Wow, what a beautiful group of yarns. Amazing how gorgeous they can be. And, I never thought of putting balls into glass display jars--THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!!! Thanks for putting it into my head :)
