WoolGirl package(s)!


Yup, not just one package, but two! Bad Andy, bad!
The yarns pictured are the following. Top: Chameleon Colorworks Bambino fingering weight (30% bamboo 60% superwash wool & 10% nylon) Briar Rose colorway. From left to right: Miss Babs: Hand-dyed Fiber Goods Yummy Superwash Sock & Baby Yarn in Raspberry Cane colorway; Cherry Blossom Fibers Superwash Merino Wool Sock Yarn in Central Park colorway; The Unique Sheep Verve Superwash Merino Fingering in WoolGirl with a Twist colorway.


This is the yarn from my very first WoolGirl order, which I place on 02-22-2008, so a few weeks ago. It has been here for quite a while, but I am just now posting about it, so don’t’ think that it actually takes that long to ship and arrive, because it doesn’t. In fact, it was shipped the day after it was ordered—so super quick in my opinion! I’d been eying the Miss Babs “Raspberry Cane” colorway for quite some time, and finally just had to take the plunge and order it. The colors are even better than I imagined they would be! I’m not ready to cast on with it yet, but hopefully in the next month or two (or at least to have them done by fall)—no need to wait until you are ready to cast on to purchase sock yarn!

I was showing my husband the yarn, and asked him which one he thought I should cast on with first, and he suggested the Chameleon Colorworks Bambino. At the time, I thought I would take his suggestion, but in all actuality, I cast on my next sock with some yarn that I did not purchase from WoolGirl, but from Prairie Needles in Battle Lake, MN—but that is another post.

The packaging was very nice, and the yarn was even wrapped in tissue paper tied with real ribbon--what a treat! Jen even included a short note and a lavender wool wash sample–it smelled great, and I have already used it. Oh, and I should mention that the tissue paper wrapped yarn was also in a plastic bag for safety! What a nice touch. Obviously from my first sentence, this will not be my last order from woolgirl.com!
