A trip to Central otago for a few days break and a bit of stash enhancement. The yarns are all Touch yarns.A boucle mohair yarn and some fine kid mohair. Plus some quirky sheep buttons from the Merino shop in Tarras.
Very hot day, all the merinos were sheltering under trees and bushes. Looking forward to getting their summer haircuts.
Came home to a big package of 5 kilos worth of merino and mohair 4ply yarn, so dyed these last nightfor our shop. I'm always torn as to whether I should wind into balls or sell as skeins. Skeins win for showing off the colours but I do sell some of the 100% wool yarns in 200g wound balls.
Compared to the straight wool I've been dyeing recently, the mohair blend just sucks up the dye so quickly. a bit like dyeing superwash wool.

I know that this is an old post, but thought i'd comment. I love buying skeins over balls of wound wool. It just looks more appealing and its easier to imagine it knitted up etc.
