Birthday wool

For my birthday John and the boys are getting me wool. Well, I saw some I liked and they said they'd get it for me... so I chose the colours below...



The wool is Special by stylecraft (100% acrylic double knit). It's quite soft and the colours are amazing. I always choose acrylic- its better for making amigurumi and costs a lot less than pure wool blends (£1.69 per 100grammes).

The colours and reference numbers are as follows:-

1091 cloud blue
1023 raspberry *2
1026 apricot
1065 meadow ( green)
1067 grape *2
1080 pale rose
1081 saffron (yellow) *2
1082 bluebell *2
1083 pomegranate *2
1132 shrimp
1188 lavender *2
1259 bright green
1302 denim
1316 spring green
1432 wisteria *2

Rearranged into colour clusters-


Oooh, I feel some more granny blankets coming up soon, and maybe some bright little wool monster amigurumi. Oh I'm a lucky girl!

... And best of all I can use it straight away as they all know I hate waiting for surprises.

Until next time
Gillian
