On the way home after a leisurely late sunday breakfast, we passed a sign that sucked me in with a fierce, irresistible vacuum. It read, "Yarn Sale" I got nine skeins of yellow chunky weight, baby alpaca for $4 a skein. Four skeins of bright yellow, and five skeins pale yellow. I have been knitting hat after hat to use up yarn to reduce the stash. I have been working hard to reduce the stash. There is even a space in the cupboard. Or rather, there WAS a space in the cupboard. Do you know anyone who needs a really warm yellow hand-knit something?
Maybe it's time to play with the dye. Add blue, get green. Add red, get orange. Add navy, get forest green. Add dark brown, get dark brown with a yellow cast. No way I can get to purple from here.
A yellow tea cozy would make me happy. That would use maybe two skeins. Maybe I'll just leave the rest in a basket and squish it occasionally. Of course, I always welcome suggestions and requests.

It's saying stripey spring sweater to me. Decorated with daffodils.

Baby Alpaca? Is it washable? I have a baby gift to make and might buy the pale yellow from you. We don't want to facilitate your addiction!

I love the bright yellow colors but I look terrible in yellow. I am just too pink.
But, wow, what a good deal.

Dye part of it blue and part of it red and have a green, orange and yellow something - very springy!
Alpaca would keep a tea pot warm a very long time, I would think.
