Yarny goodness
My order from Posh Yarn arrived today - the original estimate for dispatch was Thursday but happily it was posted yesterday :-)
I am very pleased indeed with the yarn, it is gorgeous. It's Cordelia, the cashmere-silk aran in Mulberry, lovely muted deep purples. The picture is pretty much true to the actual colour. It arrived beautifully wrapped in tissue paper. I will definitely be back in the future! I'm itching to ball up one of the skeins and make a test swatch :-)
Also arriving pretty darned promptly from the US was the Brown Sheep Naturespun worsted for the Alien Illusion scarf. There should be enough for 2 scarves here. The yarn is from eBay shop Oregon Trail Yarn.
This is lovely soft yarn and at only 3 UK pounds per ball, very good value. It was also nice to see that the actual postage cost was in fact a few cents more than I actually paid, certainly no "hidden charges" there. Another seller I will happily trade with again.

Yay for alien illusion scarves, theylook fab as they start to reveal themselves.
Your Posh Yarn is simply gorgeous, that's such a fantastic colour.
Oh, that Posh Yarn looks delicious!!! Do you know how hard it is trying to keep my credit card away from that site?! ;D
Thanks for the tip on Oregon Trail Yarn too, I shall have to bookmark them.
What a gorgeous colour the Posh Yarn stuff is! - what does it want to be?
Lovely yarn - particularly the Posh Yarn which looks absolutely scrumptious. I'm getting even more impatient for mine to arrive now! :-(
Ooh, that Posh Yarn is as good as I'd hoped it would be. It is a lovely shade.
Excellent news that Oregon Trail give good service. I think I know several people who would like that scarf. I think there is an error in the pattern though? Or maybe only in the earlier prints of the book? Have to look into that.
Great stash enhancements. Both stores are now added to 'My Favourites'.
The Posh Yarn looks beautiful. Can't wait to see it knitted up.
I'm liking the way the yarn matches the 'I am a total geek' colours on your button to the right. :)
I love the colour of Cordelia. I must tell my eponymous Project Spectrum April PC swap buddy. Good for Posh Yarn - they are getting a deservable good press in Blogland
As for the alien illusion yarn ooooooo woooooo I am going to keep watching the skies for when they land. That is one spooky colour combo!!
Wow, your Posh Yarn is just beautiful! One of my favourite colours ever, will just have to give it a try soon :)
That yarn is beyond fantastic and into the relms of divinity!!!
