My mum and i went out for the day today and went to a couple of yarn shops in Oban - ive come home with 2 skeins of absolutely gorgeous silk (ive never had silk before), 3 skeins of the new colinette hulabaloo, a gorgeous skein of sock yarn (going to attempt my first ever socks at some point when i get a chance) and a couple of balls of boring dk for baby things aswell....oh and some new needles.....:D

I really wanted to go mad on gorgeous noro yarn aswell but that was enough for one day!

I guess everyone has stopped buying given this thread has dropped so far :giggle: Somehow I doubt it ;)

I've just received a load of MM trim yarn from a co-op, so lots of semi-solids/solids. And I got my latest MM club yarn last week too, a silk/cashmere blend for my choice of colourway - I opted for Fairy Princess.
Image

I also received a yarn for knitting swap - lots of yarn to knit up with some Family Pendragon 'Pan' as payment!

Image

Not sure when I last updated here, but I have received
WSKs sport weight 'Bridger Sunset'
Image

BLL's 'Olivia' on british merino
Image

And some Louisa Harding mulberry silk and some Mirasol Tupa
And my lovely 'Tip Divinity' interchangeable case

Wow, fantastic! Have you got a big family with a lot of feet :giggle:

I've just snagged a slot in the Dashing Dachs rainbow club so have put myself firmly on the selling-yarn-only wagon for now :lol:

Since my last post here I've received....
