Handspun
This is my first handspun yarn. I hope it's enough to make a hat; I don't have a swift, or a niddy-noddy, or any of the other nifty things that tells you how much yarn you have.
It's pretty lumpy and uneven, and a bit overspun. The darker color is Welsh Dark wool (there's probably some better name, but that's what I had written down), and the grey is mystery wool that came with my wheel.

Koigu
Everyone else was raving about this stuff, so I picked some up. It's more of a mixed berry-ish colorway than the photo shows. I'm going to make a pair of grown-up socks with it: maybe Jaywalkers, but I want to have a look through Knitting on the Road bofore I commit to a pattern.

More Cascade 220
Nine skeins of a nice lapis and one skein of teal for the Mason-Dixon Perfect Sweater. I think it may be the same blue that's pictured in the pattern; the color isn't quite right in this photo.
Cascade 220
Two skeins of Cascade 220 for Fuzzy Feet. I actually bought these for Keppie, but later rethought having that much wool on my head at Temple.

Welcome to Stash Blog
The first rule of stash blog is you do not talk about stash blog.
This is mostly a place for me to keep my yarn stash organized, so I can see what I have, and what I might use it for. As I said on my main blog, I'm trying to save money and knit down my stash, so no new purchases for this girl!
