Packages

The things I ordered online arrive yesterday... FINALLY. I ordered from Jimmy Beans Wool:
NORO Kureyon Sock Yarn, Panda Soy and a couple size 0 Bamboo circulars. This time my order came with a little surprise..... some candy! :)

My first thought of the Noro Kureyon Sock Yarn, it's not as soft as I thought it would be. To me, it feels a bit straw-like and it has a real rustic, natural look. I read online that washing does soften it up a bit.... we'll see how it goes when I start working with it. I was originally thinking of making a pair of socks but now, I'm thinking maybe it's better to make a shawl or scarf.

I also ordered from the Loopy Ewe, it was my first time ordering from them. I have heard good things about their quick, friendly service and also extras with each order. Surely, this package did not disappoint. I bought some Panda Cotton sock yarn and also decided to try out the Hiya Hiya needles. The Hiya Hiya circulars came with a free hat pattern.

The package came opened and it was taped up. I was so worried that things might be missing from it, but luckily everything was intact apart from the invoice. The extras I got with my order - some yummy looking yarn samples and a needle inventory chart.
