One Skein Packages for July



Well, I know this is way late, but I'm going to document it anyway! First off, I sent my pal Mary her second package on time for July. I gave her a skein of Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool to use for felting, some pattern booklets, grape Kool Aid, and instructions on how to dye the wool with Kool Aid. It turns out that it was a serendipitous package of goods, as Mary had always wanted to try dyeing with Kool Aid! She does miniature work crochet, and uses teeny tiny threads that only come in white or ecru. She had heard about dyeing them with Kool Aid and now she has the opportunity to do so! I was really happy that the package contents were so well received!
As for what I got from my generous, thoughtful pal, the pictures of the contents are above. She gave me this goregeous skein of handspun yarn from Sporfarm, which I had never even heard of. She also included a Knitpicks shawl pattern, a Moon Valley Lotion Bar, a scented candle, button, and some jewelry. She really went all out on this package! I can't wait to see what my final package has in store! It's also going to be great to find out all about my Secret Pal!
