More Happy Mail

So the thing about getting a monthly club instalment very late is that the gap between instalments becomes quite short.  Not very long after the ( late ) March Van Gogh from Yarn Unique, here comes April's William Morris. 

I ordered DK for this as I thought I knew what the yarn would look like and I wanted to use it for  a specific mitten pattern I have. Sadly my impression of what the yarn would be like - I expected it to be based on the colours of Strawberry Thief -  and what it actually did look like were very different and it won't be suitable for the pattern I had in mind at all, as the textures won't show up in anything so dark. 

I'm not devastated! I'll just have to look for a plainer mitten pattern. 

Here's the yarn - and the extras, a bookmark as always and another coaster


Those colours in the yarn really do not say William Morris to me, but I'd be the first to admit I don't know a lot about his work.

This isn't a club where you have to buy it every month and I'm skipping the next two as they're Monet, and I have a lot of Monet themed yarn from someone else, and Turner, because I'm not a fan. If I remember I will be back in July for Kandinski. 

We are still packing but at least some of the filled boxes were taken away by the removal firm yesterday which was a relief.

  1. Good to see some progress, I bet!

    No, I wouldn’t say that makes me think Morris at all. Pretty, though.
