2019 MDS&W Haul

I went to the festival this year with the single goal of acquiring more Yankee Dyer Yarn. Mission accomplished.

Yankee Dyer Yankee Breeze in Sangria
Yankee Dyer Solo II in Dragonfly
Yankee Dyer Doodlers
I was thinking that I would use the leftover Sangria in the Dragonfly heels and toes, but then realized that the Yankee Breeze is half cotton. The owner was completely blasé about "mixing my bases." I have never done that. But I'm willing to give it a try when the color match is so nice.

My mini-skeins so far have been gradients, which this set definitely is not, but I am intrigued to try something a little more colorful.

In addition, I found an artist who makes custom buttons, an artist who paints pictures with thread, and learned - from touching the real thing - that my cashmere yarn from a long ago MDS&W purchase is probably not actually cashmere.
