I saw mention of an online yarn shop the other day - looked into it and the prices seemed really good. I mean *really* good.

So I just ordered some yarn. I had SHIPPING confirmation 15 minutes after ordering. And WITH shipping the five pounds of yarn is only $105.

(it works out to about 1/2 cent per yard)

Makes me wonder....am I dreaming? will let you know how things look after I get the yarn.

So what did you order? I'm

So what did you order? I'm excited for you. Did you order cones, skeins or hanks?

Now I look forward to seeing the wonderful projects you'll produce with the new yarn. I know they'll be fabulous and intricate.

5 cones: Jaggespun Super

5 cones:

Jaggespun Super Lamb - 5960 yds per cone (laceweight)

in mallard, merlot and cumin

Jaggerspun Heather - 1490 yds per cone ( worsted weight)

russet

Jaggespun Maine Line 2/8 (fingering) 2240 yds per cone

peacock

I have a specific project in mind for the russet; the other colours were just droolicious.

You're right. The colors

You're right. The colors look yummy. I particularly like the russet. Can't wait to see your finished projects. I noticed my heart starting to race and my breathing getter faster as I thought of receiving all that great yarn in the mail.

I don't want to post the URL

I don't want to post the URL until I actually *get* the stuff...the prices - at least for the jaggerspun line; are so low that it's hard to believe this is not a scam. I'll give it out by PM though if you want to check the site before I get the yarn.
