Who are we kidding? It's been the year kid the sheep for a good ten years now! My Sheepy stash has grown exponentially. My taste in yarn has changed.. Matured shall we say. I still use acrylic for afghans, for baby knits, for charity knits. But for myself, there is nothing like alpaca. Nothing beats the joy of a good merino. On my feet, I will have no less than 75% natural fiber. I don't consider myself a yarn snob. I just have standards.
On New Year's Eve I promised myself that I would buy no yarn until Rhinebeck...the NY Sheep and Wool Festival in October... Or maybe until Maryland Sheep and Wool in May. I made it 6 days. Six. Days. There was a huge sale somewhere on something. And there I was - checkbook in hand. And I haven't looked back.
