Hopefully, this has reached it’s recipient by now (weather permitting) so I can post a pic or two 
This yarn is a delightful surprise. Ella Rae Merino Lace will be a repeat purchase! More a light fingering weight, but great for shawls and lace projects. And the colour!

This was a score from the amazing stall of Kathy’s Fibres at Bendi last year. My aim was to spin a loftier, softer, heavier weighted yarn, something a little out of my comfort zone. And it worked!

This was a bit of a gamble, but I think it paid off.
One white, plain, but fluffy hand knit.
One pot of steaming vinegary dye infused water..
The first dunk was a little boring. So I grabbed another colour, added a splonk* and re-dipped. The result? Something like a tequila sunrise. Well, almost. I wanted the pink to take more, but it wasn’t to be.
Some cute buttons to match..
and you have a gorgeous item, ready for Autumn
