Yay, box of yarn!

[omorka]

Got my package from colorwhirl's Destashing-For-Charity event. Now have one lovely ball of a light-spring-green laceweight yarn in a merino-silk blend; a ball of black-with-copper Glitterlash; a cone of fairly thin orange-gold cotton; and three hanks of microfiber ribbon in a really striking cream-to-pewter varigation. The last is currently pondering whether it is willing to try to become a cute top for someone of my size, coloration, and sheer rotundity, or whether it refuses such indignities, in which case I will need to find something else to do with it. The green laceweight is perfectly happy to become one of a number of lace shawl patterns I have lying around, but is laughing at all of my needles, as none of them are fine enough to hold it rightly unless I double-strand it with something. And the Glitterspun is looking at my silly witch hats and demanding to become part of one of those, which I will be happy to do with it - but that's a far back burner project. (The cotton is being amiable but indecisive. It will probably become at least one pair of fingerless gloves later on, but I don't know what else it will find its way into.)

When the cotton gets down to where there's not enough for another project, I'll be glad to take the dregs off your hands for kumihimo.

I think the Tess ribbon would be a really smashing slinky shawl/poncho/body covering on top of clothes of some sort if it refuses to be a top. I was considering the possibilities of making a mermaid mesh-esque shawl with it, just to feel the lovely slinky yum.

I'm glad you got the box safe and sound! YAY, USPS!
