My GORGEOUS, AMAZING, FANTASTIC husband told me to treat myself today so I did…
I have fallen in love with the alpaca silk. It’s the first real luxury yarn I have bought.
And guess what…I got it all on SALE!!! All together it comes out as less than half price! The sock yarn was the best bargain at £1 a ball.
:woot::woot::woot:
I LOVE my hubby!!! I LOVE sales! I LOVE yarn!! :woot:
i [I]knew [/I]i was living in the wrong country. :teehee:
nice haul!
Wow! At the LYS down here Regia cost $10/ball, which is ridiculous!!! I used to get it for half the price. That alpaca silk looks yummy!
swoons
I indulged in yarn petting yesterday, but was only allowed out of the store with the one ball I walked in there looking for. DH is strict when it comes my stash buying.

Just wondering , What are you going to make with the Sidar Denim Sports Yarn? I have some I've had for a long time, wasn't sure what to do with it.
AND BY THE WAY, all your new stash is very yummy too.:mmm:
Lucky you. The alpaca silk looks beautiful. Everything else looks great too and what bargains.

The Sidar is lovely. I used some for a tiny little baby sweater, because we were told she’d be about six pounds. It turned out she was 9.5! She only wore it once.
All the yarn looks yummy, have fun with it.

Rats!!! Not only do you have Rita’s cutest puppy in the world living in your window but now this!!!
I know I’m called ‘Limey’ but I am totally [COLOR=Lime]green [COLOR=Black]with envy :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:
All that wool is absolutely gorgeous and to get it at the price you did is just outrageous!!!
C’mon, cough! Where did you get this stash? That yummy, stripey yarn looks as though it came from the Netherlands, judging by the label. Is there any left? (I very much doubt it, knowing you). Did you go channel-hopping? Did you see it on the web? Get it in the 'pool? Mugged somebody, pulled a gun, blackmailed them or what?
How am I supposed to sleep tonight, knowing that there’s a stash like that up the road? More than flesh and blood can stand:teehee:
Yours, mooching for my street map.

Nope, no blackmail or anything this time. I got it all in ‘John Lewis’ in Liverpool City Centre. I might have left a few balls… :teehee:
And I think I’ll take the yarn and the dog to bed tonight, just in case :shifty:
DQ that is one great shopping trip you went on. I love the Debbie Bliss very pretty colour. I have used the Regia several times its lovely x

It’s OK - you can rest easy - I’ve packed my sleeping bag and thermos and will be banging on John Lewis’s door first thing in the morning.
Hmm - I suppose I could make a slight detour though and get to the city centre via your street …
Sleep well … very well …:twisted:
I should think that with DH having bought you all that wonderful stash it should NOT be the dog you take to bed tonight!!!
Nice haul though! Enjoy!
both of you are lucky ~ my LYS sells it for $15.00 each skein! :noway:

I showed the DBF this thread and he said “Well that’s what happens when you have a husband”!!! Guess we’ll have to fix that soon, eh?
Yes, I agree with Christine- you should at least wear the fancy nighty for him!
