look what i got!!

[Me&P]

was in LA and visited Suss Design... all i can say is YUM! i also met Suss - which was kinda neat. They had a huge sale so of course i spent more than i intended, but it was WAY worth it!

 

the light purple is Knit One Crochet Too Gourmet Collection Temptation (50/50 baby alpaca/merino wool), Lambs Pride Wool, Suss black 100% Kid Mohair, Suss Natural: Bush (50/50 cotton/mohair), an unmarked Suss mohair blend in pink/rainbow/metallic, 2x 1/2oz skeins of Valeria di Roma Angora, and 5 sk (2 natural, grey) Suss Alpaca.

 

 

and i also just got this in the mail from

Yarn Forward

 

2 50/50 cotton/hemp and 4 Patons Fresco - which is a lot cooler than i had imagined!

Very pretty! Is that Paton's Fresco a ribbon yarn? The color is very eye catching!

i have been eyeing the fresco for months but everytime i found it online it was always rather expensive with shipping. this was on sale for $1.62/each and the shipping was quite reasonable! i thought it was a plain ribbon, but it is more like a flat "tube". think flattened straw made of cloth. very neat. i am planning to make my daughter's bathing suit out of it.

Gorgeous yarns! *drool*

 

Oh a bathing suit will be adorable in that yarn! I haven't seen it in person, but it sure is pretty in the picture!
