A Stash Check In & 2018 Knitting Projects

below: the entirety of my 'stash' (ie all the yarn I own - not including WIPs) as at 5th Jan 2018. 

now, my plans 

to trade: 

IXCHEL fibres bunny mink (the lushest!) handspun by Charley McCaffery, bought from her at Niki Whitefield's retreat in the Dandenong Ranges in 2016. 

2 cutie cute balls of Lopi that I have no plans for

handdyed fairy floss coloured silk bought from the Handweaver's Spinners and Dyers Guild of Tasmania in Hobart, 2016

to make: 

shawls

2 skeins Asana Bulky bought aaaages ago when Monarch Knitting (Pacific Grove, CA) moved & changes hands 

Void Shawl by Melanie Berg

3 skeins Snoqulamie Valley Yarn (BFL & Clun forest wool) from Tolt, bought July 2016 

(yarn discolouring) 

 

 

a note: my skeins were sitting in a basket in my room (very sunny room), and have discoloured, so I'll need to figure out how to fix this before starting (could it wash out?), do I need to try dyeing? (pictured)
