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.
ReplyDeleteBaby 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!
ReplyDeleteOoooh yellow tea cozy sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love the bright yellow colors but I look terrible in yellow. I am just too pink.
ReplyDeleteBut, wow, what a good deal.
Dieting sucks doesn't it? =^.^=
ReplyDeleteDye part of it blue and part of it red and have a green, orange and yellow something - very springy!
ReplyDeleteAlpaca would keep a tea pot warm a very long time, I would think.
