Recently when I bought yarns in my local mill end shop I tried to get different colours to fill gaps and I was equally shocked when I got home to see what I'd got. <br />I'm sure you'll find some new and interesting things to weave with them, though, they do look nice. Sometimes it's good to use colours you wouldn't normally go for!Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14919351210227446733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-60947270479214065232012-02-15T13:17:16.301-08:002012-02-15T13:17:16.301-08:00Hi Susan: You are not alone as recently I ordered...Hi Susan: You are not alone as recently I ordered 4 cones of what I thought was 1# cones of 20/2 merc cotton. When it arrived, all 4# was in this little bag!! Come to find out, it was sold as being on mini-cones weighing 5 ounces each, and I just didn't notice. This made the price per pound quite expensive and I definitely would have looked for another supplier had I noticed this before ordering. It didn't dawn on me to check that I wasn't ordering 1# cones. I'll be smarter next time (I hope).

I'm especially excited to hear what you think of Tom's piece on caring for the several looms. Tom is our 'local' treasure, and there is good reason why he was nominated Handwoven's Teacher of the Year this year. Have fun, Susan! You've certainly earned it over the past several months!Lindahttp://treadlngs.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-47512370939333190192012-02-11T08:56:35.190-08:002012-02-11T08:56:35.190-08:00Hi Susan - lovely yarns !

The pastel shades will do well for summer scarves, if we ever need them !<br />the merino tencel is a bit bulky, I found that even with the 16/2 I got. merino silk is less bulky I think.<br />Not sure about the Halloween Yarn ! Highlights on something black maybe.<br />Listen to colour challenged me !!<br />Enjoy !<br /><br />Dorothydorothylochmabenhttp://dorothystewart.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-30298145080061814612012-02-11T08:19:22.460-08:002012-02-11T08:19:22.460-08:00Totally love that orange yarn!

I get all excited at surfing around the net, but the real thing is less exciting when it arrives. Maybe it's the cyber version of "buyer's remorse". <br /><br />I'm sure you'll come up with some lovely plans for the new stash. Will you review the video for us?Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226371437929271405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-43217360374434215042012-02-11T05:25:31.575-08:002012-02-11T05:25:31.575-08:00Hi Susan,

I am anxious to hear what you think of the "Loom Companion". I am "thinking" about ordering it ..... we can always learn something from any new material. I will await your critique. You will make beautiful things with your new yarn, and in the end be pleased that you ordered them. Weaverly yours ...
