Haul 003.

Wool, wool, wool! A cloudy day with lots of chill and wool is my favourite kind, all I need now is a pumpkin spice latte and I'm set for life. My package from Etsy has arrived and I'm so excited! I found this wool while browsing and I fell in love with not only the colours, but the prices as well, ahem. Not one of them is acrylic or any other 'fake' fabric, which is what really drew me to them. The first one is from Lanaloft and it's pictured below. It's a gorgeous lavender colour and my mom chose it for the headband I'm making her. It's 100% wool and is 160 yards. I also believe it's hand spun because it's all one long string, rather than a few strings twisted together, if that makes sense.

The new two are from Lamb's Pride. One is a beautiful flannel blue colour that I'll probably use for a chunky ribbed hat for my dad, just so he can wear around casually. The other is a really pretty seafoam colour. I have yet to decide what I wanna do with that one. They're both 85% wool and 15% mohair, which makes them snuggly and soft to the touch. They're also 125 yards. I'm actually really excited to work with these guys!

Next are two skein's from Nature Spun, the first is a silver sage colour I'm so in love with that I'll have to make myself a cowl with, and the second is a beautiful purple colour and I know exactly who this one's going to. They're both 100% wool and super, super soft. With a good wash and fabric softening, they're going to be amazing on the skin. Okay, I know I was excited to work with the Lamb's Pride yarns, but I'm actually really excited to work with these ones.

And last but least, I have these three babies. I'm planning on making the H&M scarves with these, even though I know I got the wrong material for them. The H&M scarves were probably a mohair, but I know I can throw these in the wash with some fabric softener and they'll be really great. Another weird thing I did is get 1 pink and 2 of white and grey. I don't know what was going through my mind at the time, but it could be the people I'm making these for. Anyways, they're all 80% cotton and 20% merino wool, and 215 yards.

So that's my wonderful haul! And yes of course I'll be updating further about what I'll be making with these beautiful yarns, so stick around. Also, can anyone please tell me what "second" means? It says so on each yarn label and I'm a touch confused.
