Nature At Her Fingertips
I was excited to open the package from my Dye-O-Rama pal, Bev, but even more awestruck to pull out this incredible yarn:
Vinca Minor, the yarn, next to Vinca Major, the plant
Bev says "I used dyes from Aljo. They were silk/wool acide dyes and green came from "Topaz Yellow" with "Turquoise"; purple from "Maroon" and "Midnight Blue", and the blue from "Midnight Blue" and "Turquoise". I cannot believe that Bev is a dyeing novice!
This yarn is from Socks That Fit, and I am hoping that is what it will turn into over the summer!

That's gorgeous yarn! Cant' wait to see what it looks like when you knit it!
Have aa great time at Estes this weekend. I can't make it this year. Hopefully next year.
Very lovely yarn!
Thank you for the birthday wishes! I agree that birthdays should be as drawn out as possible!
Beautiful Yarn! It is such a small world. I "watched" Bev create this yarn on her blog obviously with no idea of it's destination. I love that! What a surprise finding out that you were the recipient.
Enjoy it! :-)
Yep, I'm drooling!
Wow! That's such pretty yarn...I know you'll enjoy knitting it up!
Have a blast this weekend!!!

GORGEOUS YARN!
Love the Lake Taho Pics...some day I'll get there!
