In all fairness, this one was a TOTAL accident. I had accidentally logged on to Ravelry, had accidentally been lurking the Wollmeise boards and accidentally noticed that the Loopy Ewe had an update :)
Above is Zenzi in the Dark 100% superwash...Then there is this beauty...
The thing with this one is, I kinda don't want to talk about it because, other people haven't noticed the dyer and her amazing colorways...but, for you faithful readers (Hi, Mom, Aunt Pat, Michelle and Peg!) I'll spill the beans...It's Handgefaerbt and it's wonderfully soft *sigh*Now this here below is a bit of a miracle. See, the Wollmeise dyer decided to have a sock club but so many people wanted in she decided to have a raffle to be fair. I saw the raffle was on via the Lime 'n' Violet Daily Chum and thought, "What the hell?!" I had absolutely no thoughts about what I would do if I won the raffle and got a spot in the sock club, but you know what I did do? I paid the fee and lo and behold, here is my beautiful sock yarn!!
Oh yes, that's TWO beautiful skeins of some of the most coveted yarn on the Interwebs. In addition to the yarn were some lovely dark wood dpn's, a ruler, a pattern with dyers notes and some marzipan...I think I'm in love :)

Aww, I feel so speshuls, I'm a faithful reader! I read the Rav forum that led to Handgefaerbt drooling too. WANT. The Wollmeise, not so much. I had some, I knit it, it didn't wow me as a yarn base. That purple/burgundy skein is a beaut, though. Oh hey, say hi to Peg when you see her!
