A little something from across the pond

Wow! I got a package from my Secret Pal and I can't believe how much yarn she sent me! It was packed full and I really mean it. First there were two huge hanks of this pretty hand painted yarn (I plan on asking her if she dyed it herself):


And another equally large hank of hand dyed red yarn. Unfortunately, the flash took away the color details from the red, but it is really a two tones of red.


She also included two balls of a pretty butter yellow Jaeger merino. Then it was on to the goodies...
A cool pair of socks from the UK, a little kit of wool fat bath products (I've never heard of this before and I am really curious what it is like), and a chocolate orange - yum! I plan on sneaking that one to the office tomorrow :-) And hopefully it will be around longer than just tomorrow, but I'm afraid with the way I've been with food lately, it may actually turn into my lunch.

Thank you so much Secret Pal! You really out did yourself!

Wow. Can I have your secret pal?! How fun! I really love the blue and purple yarn. Is it all wool, or wool silk? It has a certain sheen to it...
