Unpacking

Ms. Canada Post dropped in this afternoon with a box from Hedgehog. There is a least one more box on the way. Hedgehog sent me the tracking numbers on Friday but they mixed them up and sent me numbers for a store in the US. I don't have the correct numbers yet so it was a giant surprise when the box appeared. This is a new Potluck. There will be another Skinny Single Potluck and two Potlucks in Sock.

We also received Film Noir for the first time. A very interesting colour.

The second box from Ms. Canada Post was two bags of Arranmore Light. Meet Ruari. The Library Vest would look amazing in this colour.

North Row (pattern purchased on Ravelry) is so beautiful. Another great garment knit in Arranmore Light.

Mr. Canpar brought a large box of Eco +. Lynda and Cathy are knitting Veronika with Eco +.

Eco+ is 100% Natural Peruvian Wool. Eco+ is the colorful version of our popular Ecological Wool® with a fabulous range of stunning solid colors. Soft and wearable, this wool lends itself to either garments or felting. With amazing, big, generous skeins, it's perfect for all sorts of garments like cardigans, pullovers and blankets.

We knit Lemongrass out of Eco +. I looked and looked and couldn't find pictures so I went outside in the wind and rain to get new ones.

Mr. FedEx came with the last box which was from Soak. We were out a few scents - now we're well stocked. I use Soak when blocking. It's also great for washing hand knits, lingerie and bathing suits.

What is it: Soak is modern laundry care. Clean up with Soak’s eco-friendly formulation. Developed to be as easy on the environment as it is on your clothes, it’s the no-rinse clean you trust and love. 

Soak is perfect for your laciest lingerie, softest sweaters, baby clothes, quilts, swimwear, workout wear and all the laundry you love. love it. wear it. soak it. 

How it works: Just Soak and squeeze. No need to rinse. Lay knits flat to dry. Wash sets (like lingerie) together. Test fabric for color-fastness.

• made with plant derived and renewable ingredients

• biodegradable, phosphate-free, dye-free, sulphate-free

• safe for hand or machine washing (including HE)

Yuzu: Clean with a peel. Pucker up and give your laundry some love with a kiss of tart citrus + crushed eucalyptus.

Celebration: Inspired by the essence of Red Tea. Sweet, delicate and absolutely delicious, this perennial favourite smells like good, clean fun.

I'm a bit tired today. I watched most of the baseball game last night. What a game. I'm finishing my post and then going to knit a few rows. I haven't touched my needles today. It'll only be a few rows though :)
