i swore i wasn't going to buy yarn on vacation. oops!
driving back from shady maple, i asked if we could swing past labadie looms. i visited there years ago and was curious to see what kind of spinning wheels they had. they only had one in stock (ashford traveler), but i did find some yarn.
btw, i blame my mom. these were things she liked.
Triumph - a boucle silk/mohair/wool blend. i should have my head examined for buying boucle yarn. $85 boucle yarn to be precise. mom liked the shawl. i need ideas for christmas. should be a quick easy knit.
i tried to wind this hank on my swift. it got all tangled up. hence the yarn balls. hrump.

Porche - mohair rayon with glitz. dear bob, mohair. i must have been insane. mom liked this one too. shawl will be easy too.
lancaster county rain - merino hand dyed with glitz. this one is mine (and proof that i was of sane mind). coral, green and sparkle - what's not to love?
blue heron yarns rayon metallic - loved the sparkle.
and i bought a braid of fiber - frabjous Blue Faced Leicester Roving in atlantis
not from labadie looms, but i spent my a4a cert at cephalopod yarns. bought a skein of traveler in my shawl's colorway becos i thought i'd run short (i didn't) and the bottom skein is traveler in bird in hand.
the yarns i got are bulky weight, so they'll make quick knits. right now i could use some quick knitting.
