Isn't this lovely?!
This is a skein/hank/whatever of (I'm guessing here) fingering weight silk dyed by the owner of Labadie Looms in Lancaster PA. No website. All I was able to get was what google had to offer, but I'll take it because I love this yarn. Color and everything.
This beautiful yarn arrived out of the blue a few days ago with a lovely card and maybe some chocolate, but maybe not...
I'm not saying either way....
What?
Where was I?
Oh, right.
The fabulous Devorah surprised me with this lovely yarn in what she and her daughter felt was a very me colorway. They found it while out on their annual Team Squid Summer Adventure. They are a very thoughtful and lovely tribe, the Squid. Very attractive group, too.
Just sayin'...
Yes, she is thoughtful and amazing, but she's the Mama Squid and I think that's part of the deal.
Thank you, again, Devorah!♥
No clue what it will be yet. I think I'll just look at it for a while. Can you blame me?
And, you must pet it, too.

That is beautiful, and definitely a Very Cookie Colorway!

What Cindy(2) said. And maybe sniff it. But probably don't taste it.

Of course I don't blame you. Sometimes yarn is perfection in itself.

I cannot. I can envy you, however.

Okay, I ask this with all due respect....and especially to the wonderful Devorah who found the absolute Cookieish yarn, but don't you get sick of pink? I'm just wondering if it will be your color forever and ever.
:D
When I picture you, it is a pink cookie. It is.

Oh I bet it just feels marvelous! That Devorah and Squidette sure can pick 'em.

It is only right to get to know the yarn before you drive in the needles.

Some times you have to listen to the yarn for a little bit - you'll figure out what it wants to be! Beautiful yarn! Can't wait to see what you come up with.
