What knitter doesn’t stash? It is expected and I really have no idea why it occurs. Sometimes I buy just for the color, making sure I buy enough for a full project. Stashes grow when you have big remainers of yarn left but still keep buying for new projects. I’ve already knit from the rose color and derby grey but still have enough left for baby items or maybe softies. Here I was given a whole cone sample of the white 1ply cashmere. The red also came free since it was accidententally wound with another red color. Stashes form from the folly of imagination. That 1ply white would make a beautiful lace scarf. That brown yarn has a teddy bear formed already in my head. I already see his face with embroidered nose and felt eyes. Black cashmere will get me a very sleek deco sweater, long sleeved and hopefully a cardigan for winter.

Hello, I just love the yarn you choose for your projects, where do you purchase it? I agree with Miss Dottie!

I get it all from the eBay seller ColormartUK. He gets left over yarn from designers from the factory that knits up their garments. Basically it’s Chanel, Gucci, Prada yarn for the price of any ol store bought yarn. It’s so amazing. I swear by it! If you buy from him, mention my website. I’m hoping if I give him enough referals he will pass me on some freebies! He is great with that. He has a yahoo group and often offers up free yarn for testing the market on them.
