So Speedy!

Wow! That was quick!!

Less than 24 hours after I placed my order, UPS brought a box of yarn to my door!

Here are my Homestead Cotton colors for lace samples and dishtowels. A green that I'm considering for the warp is back-ordered.

The colors in this project remind me of SweeTarts (one of my favorite candies growing up).


The purple cottolin and pearl cotton from my towels and Theo Moorman homework also arrived.


Plus, new color cards for yarns like bamboo, tencel and updated colors for Harrisville and Halcyon's new cotolin.

Exciting!!!

Oh what fun, makes me want to buy more yarn and I don't need any at all.
Less than 24 hours? That's almost instant gratification isn't it? LOL

Those colors are definitely yummy, have fun!

Yes, it is exciting! It's always fun to get new supplies for our favorite activities. I treasure trips to the yarn stores and when it comes to me it's like Christmas!

Hugs,

The colours are wonderful - so is your delivery services. That is almost as good as shopping in person!

Don't you just love Halcyon Yarn? And Homestead cotton is one of my favorite yarns to weave up. Love the colors you have chosen.

Julie said...

Boy that was fast! Great colors! Sounds like you have allot of weaving to do.

Yum, SweeTarts! I might have to get some tomorrow. And some yarn to go with them. I really like your color choices. And I really hate the word "backordered".

Maggie said...

I love Halcyon! Even down here in Tennessee, they ship very speedily! Yummy colors!

Terri said...

It looks like you are going to be busy for a while. Have fun!

Do you remember the ginormous (bigger than giant and enormous) SweeTarts? They were the size of a silver dollar and about 1/2 inch thick? If you ate the whole thing it would give you lockjaw. Awww...the good old days.
