The other day when I went looking for this ball of yarn – Yes, I still do it the old way, my dearest Joe doesn’t want to get the very fat hints I keep throwing around about all them cool winding tools. Oh well, he holds the yarn for me when ever I ask, he never complains and he is (among many other things) an excellent yarn balagan solver.

Oh my, didn’t I start this with a story about one lucky ball of yarn? I sure did. So, back to our main story of the day: When I went looking for this ball, I realised it is one lucky ball as I found it in the knitting bag that went with me to Bahia Kino, Mexico . OK, what is the big story here, one trip is nothing special for any good yarn, you think to yourself and I agree completely! the reason I decided to declare this ball a lucky one is that it is not the first trip it took. This same lovely was visiting Israel with me last February and then Toronto, Canada in March/April. I guess he is, ooppps translating again, sorry (a yarn ball is a he in my mother tongue) my travel companion these days, I wonder where else fate will take us in the future. I like the diversity of rolls yarn can play in our lives, don’t you?

You probably want some more details about such a special ball of yarn, right?
It is the 80% Merino Wool, 20% Nylon version of Dave Daniels Cabin Cove beautiful Kaleidoscope. I love this colour, I think I have it in all the combinations Dave offers it in. Unfortunately Dave’s shop is closed right now, or maybe it is for the better, at least for me, as I am on a very strict yarn diet these days, poor me.
