I'd like to make a dent in my yarn stash, and I'm going to start using the most recently acquired yarn first.
Why not, right? It was all the yarn on top of the pile.
So, what's in the bag?
From a trip to New Orleans, 109 yards of Classic Elite Inca Alpaca in a blue-purple.
Also from New Orleans, 175 yards of of Koigu Painter's Palette Premium Merino Wool. The colors remind me of all the Mardi Gras decorations that were up.
You've seen these two before--from the San Francisco Artfibers store, 265 yards of silk/alpaca/wool in navy, and 83 yards of silk/lambswool in blues and greens.
From the Madrona Fiber Arts Winter Retreat in Tacoma, 380 yards of Socks That Rock merino wool in Nodding Violet. Beautiful!
Don't you love getting yarn for Christmas? Me too! This lovely gift is 270 yards of Berroco Europa Superwash Wool/Cotton. I've started some toe-up socks from Knitty.
Something else from Tacoma--1,240 yards of hand-dyed superfine alpaca from Crown Mountain Farms. With it, I've started the Cherry Blossom Shawl by Kristin Spurkland.
This is from the Spring 2002 Interweave Knits.
As I work through all this yarn, I'll add things to the bag from the stash, grabbing yarn from further and further (farther and farther?) back in time.

Socks from the toe up - you always do things in a unique way. I have one pair done the traditional way, am working towards the toe on the first of a second pair, and just re-picked up the blue sweater-to-be. I found some old wool fabric which blue matches it, and the bracelet you restrung also will, so I'm revitalized.
