Gary, I love the colors that you choose to work with. The brown of the sheep/camel yarn is beautiful. Your podcasts are inspiring.

Hi Lynanne - I hope you get a softer Camel yarn than what was in the collection I received called Romantic Country Sheep Camel - it was rough!

It's fun to explore Temu (talk about falling down a rabbit hole!). I've gotten some really fabulous tools and yarns but also a few duds. I recently bought some yak yarn in lace weight. Hate to pair it with another yarn because you'll lose the luxurious feel. Should've bought more😂. Admire your scarf. You are truly a master in mixing fibers and colors! Take care my yarny friend

I'm like you when buying online. I like a small amount to sample, so if they're duds I'm not out of pocket. I wouldn't buy the Romantic Country Camel Sheep Yarn again, but the Mohair blue/teal with nubs and the Mohair brown/coffee - I'm embarrassed to say - I've already got more.

Hello Jean! Thank you for stopping by and giving me a try. I appreciate you introducing yourself and hope to see you again soon.

Hi Gary, you peaked my interest with that “yester” fiber. It actually is polyester fibre. The “po” is on the prior line. A very strange splitting of the word. 😉 I’ve seen other crafters use mohair and the items are gorgeous when blended with another yarn. The thing that makes me afraid to use it is the fuzz/fluff flying around while working with it. I’ll be curious to hear about your experiences with these new yarns. Have a lovely holiday with your family. ♥️♥️♥️

Hey Gary I sent you an email about the romantic country yarn. I got a dark blue color way but it has an iridescent green sheen to it. I immediately thought of you. I personally thought what is got was pretty soft and I agree about weight. I’m going to put it through my yardage meter to see how many yards they are. The hat is super cool. 😊

Hello Mostley - You got some of the Romantic Country in a wonderful green. I don't know what I'd make with mine as well, but I wondered if mine was coarser than yours. I was thinking I'd need to make something not to be put directly on skin. Perhaps a wash might soften mine a bit.

@@urbanyarn it’s not really green it’s blue with and iridescent green sheen. It’s difficult to describe. As far as the roughness goes. Maybe we got something different or maybe it’s the same and you and I are different. Either way I still think you’d love this color. Have a great Christmas :)
