Rios Arrived

The Malabrigo Rios arrived today. This is the yarn I ordered when ESK had their refund for the sixth skein of Malabrigo that was ordered. I ended up getting four skeins free. Not bad at all!

The first one is the Matisse Blue. I got 7 skeins, which was all they had. That’s 1,470 yards. I would love to have gotten 9 skeins and ay try to get 2 more later but Malabrigo colors can vary greatly from dye lot to dye lot. This is such a gorgeous blue.

Next is Hollyhock. I got 9 skeins of that. It’s a gorgeous raspberry pink in real life.

Last is Yerba. I got 9 skeins of this one.

With 9 skeins, that gives me 1,890 yards of each so I’ll be able to do the projects I had in mind for sure.  Those are some beautiful yarns.

Madelinetosh is having a sale. I’ve been thinking about it and looking at their yarn. I’ve put yarn in my cart and taken it out. Put more in and taken it out. There are several things I really want to make and keep doing this challenge and that challenge and ordering more yarn and I just want to make what I want to make. The first thing I’m going to work on after Camp Loopy is Morning Sky. This is the yarn I have to make it and I love it so much. The yarn is Eco Stitch 100% linen.

The yarn to make Eri arrived today from Germany. The yarn is Nature’s Luxury On Stage and the color is Mountains.

Yes, I love green. These are both bases I’ve never used and am anxious to try. So . . I didn’t buy yarn at the Madelinetosh sale. Good job, me!
