In brighter news, today is New Yarn Day! 🧶

Believe it or not I didn't set out to look like a Drops fangirl, these just happened to be what caught my eye for planned projects.

Drops Nepal in Dark Ivy, for a jumper because apparently I don't have enough green jumpers.

Drops Nord in Navy Blue for a poncho shawl thing (but alas not the awesome dragony one from the other day).

And Drops Fiesta in Ink Spots, for a top that I'm weirdly excited about even though this isn't the sort of colourway I normally pick AT ALL 🤷‍♀️

@thegiddystitcher I love these colors! That blue is pretty much the exact shade I think of when I say blue is my favorite color. Will keep these in mind for my next projects (more like next next next, sadly I already own enough yarn 😢).

Can't wait to see what you make!

@aliceinwaterdeep It does feel a bit like all of my projects for the last year and a half have been this sort of blue, but you're right it's a great colour! And this feels really soft as well, at least in the skein.

Used the Ice Yarns Alpaca Light in navy recently too and I think that's one of my new fave yarns.

Drops fan girl here myself ;-)
Well, I'm not exclusive, but it hasn't disappointed me yet. Made a sweater for my daughter with fiesta, and she loves it and wears it continuously.

@Sobtanian I used to use Nepal a lot when I first started, but the Nord is new to me and I'm immediately impressed by how nice and soft it is.

@thegiddystitcher very cool. I love that they’re all named after places too.

For months now, I've been finding the idea of yarn shopping (picking a project, assessing what it needs, finding an affordable option, reading reviews and looking at pics of it in real projects before buying) to be just Way Too Much.

So getting this lot ordered and actually being excited for it is a very good sign 😄

@thegiddystitcher Hell yeah.

We have an art supplies thrift store called 'Scraps' here in KC and I get a lot of my stuff there.

@FlashMobOfOne Oh awesome! One of those apparently exists about an hour and a half drive from us and one day I will make the pilgrimage.

(gotta learn to drive first though, it's a work in progress!)
