3 skeins of baby alpaca. Have a closer look:
Here's the tag:
I don't think it's handspun, but obviously small production. This yarn feels wonderful! Even when I don't go looking for more stash, it finds me.
After my earlier post in which I mentioned finding my copy of Mostly Mittens on Overstock.com, I thought I better go back and have a peek at their knitting books these day. A peek led to a purchase, which came in today's mail. It felt like Speedy Delivery to me!
Christmas in March, indeed!

Wow, that alpaca looks beautiful. I bet it's very soft too...
I'll be interested to hear what you think of the books, they've all been on my "maybe" list.
Merry Christmas!
A gift in March must be extra fun!

Wow! You must have been a very good girl last year! Lucky!
Wow, look at all that lace!
Nice! Love the Alpaca!
I'm just happy when I don't get bills in the mail.....
I've got a brother like that too--always late with the presents ;-)
Arctic Lace! Palmer Represent!!!!
More Alpaca!
yay!
And awesome books!
I love it, Christmas in March.
The Andean Folk Knits is a great read. I found it to be interesting as well as having nice patterns. Enjoy your "holiday"!
I also just acquired both of those Marianne Kinzel books. They are chock full of eye candy. I love the pics of Chunky with the trees and snow and blue sky. Winter would be more fun if there were more days like that.
Ooo!, Ooo!, Ooo! such good mail. Enjoy it all you fortunate woman.
Nice alpaca! I have that andean knits book-- its pretty interesting. Havent knit anything out of it, but I like the history and travelogue parts a lot. It looks like you'll be busy for a while...
The shawl on the cover of Arctic Lace is gorgeous... I might just have to check that book out!
What a haul! Like Christmas and a birthday, all in the same day.
