Yesterday I met Viv to pass on a bookcrossing book, and afterwards I popped into Stash because I had a £25 voucher that Colin gave me for Christmas burning a hole in my pocket. I had no project in mind, I just wanted to spend it!! This is what I came out with after adding another £4 in cash.
The first one is Araucania Ranco Multi in a pinky, yellowy, purpley colourway.
Then some Fyberspates 100% merino DK in bright pinks, yellows, greens and purples which makes you go "Oooo!!" when you touch it, and that's what sold it to me (aswell as Ann in the shop putting it in my hand in the first place! Naughty girl.)
And finally some Fyberspates 50% merino, 50% tencel sock yarn in muted pinks, blues and purples. There is a bit of a colour theme going on here methinks.
My energy was definitely "excitable" when I bought these. Like I said, I have no projects in mind for these yarns, most likely socks for the two sock yarns, but absolutely no idea for the DK. There is 220 metres in total so any suggestions are welcome.
Don't forget to watch Ashes to Ashes tonight, BBC1 9pm.

Ha, Charlie doesn't look convinced, does he!
What gorgeous yarn! Lucky you, to be near a yarn shop - it's such a treat to fondle it all! And Araucania - 'nuff said! You might just have enough to knit an Argosy scarf with the DK?
Ooh gorgeous yarn, wish I had somewhere close by to actually squidge that kind of yarn before buying!
Charlie is certainly a cheeky chappie and very bright judging by his antics ;-)
