Yarns I got for free!

Last month, I came upon a post at crochetville by yarnyviolet offering some free yarns to those living in Germany or U.K. I immediately asked if she could send it to my sister in London, who in turn would send it to me. Well, I didnt have to wait too long, I got it today! Thanks sis, for mailing it to me :)
And of course, thank you so much Rachel (yarnyviolet) for sending the yarns for free, your generosity is very much appreciated! I know it is quite hard to part with some or most of your yarns as you cant bring it with you on your move.


All of it is very nice. I couldnt tell so much from the photos before, but now that I have it here I can say it is all wonderful! I hardly know about yarns. I just know those are mostly boucle. I'm thinking of making bags and other accessories from it and also a knitted top (someday, I'll be able to knit myself a top!)

  4. Thanks for your comments, ladies!
    I'm fighting the urge to start a project with these cotton chenille, as I have a lot of WIPs :p
    Yasmin, I was able to upload the photo to blogger this time. I always try to, but most of the time it doesnt load.

  8. Hehe...I'm happy to learn that the yarns have arrived. By the way, I'm sorry about my sudden disappearance online. I was running around and making the most of the Easter break. Back to work today =)
