I don't remember how I acquired this yarn. Some sort of swap for some other even-less-desired yarn. It's a nasty pale mint green. However, it's Dale Baby Ull, which is a nice superwash fingering weight 100% wool yarn. It's now on its way to Carrie/Funkycarolina who's going to dye it a beautiful teal color for me. She's good at teal, you know.
Tram no. 302 runs every winter through Bendigo streets, suitably warmed up with all sorts of lovely hand made crocheted bunting, seat covers, blankets and cushions. The inside is even nicer. It is decorated by an anonymous group of needling ninjas who have been brightening up the streets for the past seven years. Yarn art.
Little sample balls of Hello Yarn Sock. I didn't spend half the afternoon winding them to let them go without a photo!
My new work study office assistant is into crocheting. Here are the pretty colors of her crochet hooks and yarn that she was working with today. Maybe she’ll teach me!
I got a *super-lovely* Lion Brand catalog in my mailbox a few months back, and came across it happily in my desk travels, today. Sooo inspiring! It makes me wish for multi-colored stacks of yarn in my won craft room! :)

Sock yarn leftovers create a nice yarn display. Just looking at it makes me happy.

Yarn is made of twisted fiber. In crochet the yarn is twisted and knotted to make a design. This picture was taken for Macro Monday's twist edition.
My Etsy Shop, Sassenach Yarns, is open!
Here are the seven colorways I'm starting with (lucky seven?)--I was going to keep Fraser for myself, but then I figured, heck, I'll throw it up there and see what happens.
If worse comes to worse and the yarn doesn't sell, I suppose I shall have to unlist it all and add it to my obscene personal stash, but let's hope it doesn't come to that =D
I gave Sandi some handspun yarn as a thank you for Will's coat. It's a merino-angora blend. (Maybe 5% angora?) The merino is from Abi, the angora is from Gir. It's hand blended, and hand spun on my Ashford wheel. Approximately 160 yards of three-ply (worsted weight) yarn.
In Askersund Sweden last week I came across a little store that sold flowers, crafts, and souvenirs (and had the Sweden Mexico football game on the radio). Outside the shop were these wonderful balls of yarn squeezed into a bin. What a wonderful photo opportunity. I bought no yarn, but did get a souvenir and listed to a bit of the game with the shop keeper.

I love this yarn. It's quite special, actually. I had saved up all of my miscellaneous fibers from previous spinnings and sent them off to Rachel-Marie of knittydirtygirl.etsy.com to be carded into batts. She took my fiber scraps, added some umpf and some *sparkle*, and this skein is the result!
In regards to the name, "Changeling", well... that is quite special, too. My husband told me I was a changeling when he first met me; a fairy child left in the place of a fairy-abducted human baby. Changelings are able to change their appearance (I do this constantly--with hair color, style of clothing, colored contacts... the list goes on). This skein of yarn does just that: it changes with each inch. You never know what to expect with this skein. It's full of magic :)
