The other day I went to Coldspring Mill near Bradford and as a result the yarn stash has increased quite a bit!
Picked up some unlabelled Debbie Bliss wool on cones. Only small amounts though, but I’m hoping to make a minisweater with them both.
That’s the black and blue big cones in the pic. I’ve already started on the black minisweater 
Hoping I have enough wool for it though, but maybe I can just do shorter sleeves if I run out. The other bits were a tiny bit of light blue DB merino chunky which I think I’ll do a felted purse or something with and also some unknown beige yarn and a small ball of mohair that I managed to get for free as the nice man couldn’t be bothered to enter an amount for it!
This is some lovely Elsebeth Lavoid wool in a dark brown colour. It’s 50% Alpaca and 50% Merino and it’s lovely and soft. I’m going to make a long cardigan for me from a pattern in a Rowan magazine. If I find a pic I’ll post it.
And last but not least is some of this:
Which I think I’ll make a shawl with. I’d like to make the Clapotis but I’m not sure. Might do a test square to see how it knits up.
That would be rather nice…wonder how many years it would take me to knit it though!

Clapotis is a lovely scarf! I like the loopy scarf - I must have a bash at loopy knitting, not least because I need to revamp nin’s rocking horse and a loopy mane would be just the thing! I got some more *stuff* today :0D Oh and the baby caps - may I borrow that book so I can knit some caps?
