New sock yarn



Just a quick post today to show the new yarn I have. The first one is Opal handpainted sock yarn which I am using for my step-sister and neice's socks. The other one I got today from an ebay seller in the USA. It is also sock weight and handpainted. Unfortunately it is not as soft as I would have hoped but the colours are lovely. I may use this for gloves rather than socks. The Opal colours are a lot brighter, like the colours on an exotic parrot!

Not really, this hank cost £9.00 including the shipping. I am waiting for some from another seller tho' which is 10 50g balls of sock weight for £21.00 including shipping, so that's only £2.10 a ball.
