Mas Hilo...

Or, more yarn, if you prefer the English translation.

I received a gift card to knitpicks for my birthday (thank you to the Morawetz family) and decided that I needed some sock yarn. I read in my book "Socks from the Toe-Up" that sock yarn does not count as stash, so I felt no guilt in purchasing this yarn.

I got this skein of Ivy color Stroll Kettle Dyed for a pair of socks I'm going to make for Dustin.A skein of the new Stroll Tonal yarn in this very happy green yarn called springtime. So super soft, I can't wait to start a project with this. And just because I am feeling super adventurous, I purchased a skein of Superwash Merino Bare because I am going to try my hand and yarn dying! I found this great tutorial here and when all the egg dying kits were on sale I purchased one just so I could try this. I can't wait!

ooh! Beautiful yarns!

You'll have to let us know how the stroll tonal works for you. That is such pretty yarn and it's supposed to be their big seller this year.


Can't wait to see how the yarn dyes up. I've been wanting to try dyeing for a while now.

Nothing like new yarn to get inspired!!! Can't wait to see your hand dye! I haven't had the bravado to try to dye with real dyes! (only tried with koolaid). Have a great time!
