Sila is back to Malaysia and among the things she brought back was the yarn stash from Knit Picks for me!!

Let’s cut to the chase and see what we have in the bag, shall we?

First up is the alpaca/silk yarn. Alpaca yarn is relatively a new type of yarn for me. The name of the yarn, is also the name of the animal which the yarn is produced from. Compared to the normal wool from sheep, alpaca is softer and lighter and yet it provides better insulation. This yarn is very very lovely. I can’t stop myself from petting the yarn!

Next up is the cotton/linen blend. This yarn is strong and doesn’t stretch much making it an ideal yarn to make bags! I am planning to make a nice little tote with it . Let’s hope that happens!

The rest of the stash is primarily for my ‘Summer Bliss Afghan’ ( yeap, I just made up the name). Will show a picture of my work-in-progress soon!

What can I say? I am in YARN HEAVEN! Thanks so much Sila for bringing me the yarn! *muacks! *
