I got the blues

Look what arrived in the mail yesterday....









Skeins of blue and green deliciousness. Beautiful ten ply Australian Merino hand painted semi solids done by the clever clever clever sil (who will be at the Sock Summit this weekend and is doing the rounds of other US shows over the next few months if any of you US types want some pretties of your own). All destined to be made into a Babette blanket over time. It's going to be a long term project because it's almost FOUR kilometres of wool, people. But it will be very very pretty. Until then I just have to hug it and pet it and call it George because seriously it's like all my fave colours in yarn. (well, all my fave blues and greens). My own little tropical ocean.

And now I'm thinking I need a swift and a ball winder....
