YPF
Last weekend Purlesence had their one year anniversary sale and I left with this big skein 'o yarn:
Mountain Colors Weaver's Wool
100% Worsted Wool
1450 yards
$66 on sale at FORTY % off!
That's a sweater's worth of hand dyed yarn for $39.60!
I'm thinking of making the Mr. Greenjeans sweater that I've been admiring over at Jo's blog.
In case you're wondering why a girl in the 'burbs has a couple of rusted milk cans in her back yard, they were given to me by an old colleague of my Dad's. I don't know what to do with them but I like them so they just sit out back and rust. And serve as yarn pedestals.

Soooo pretty!!! And a bargain at that!!
Bummed that I missed the party. But my wallet is happier this week! Someday we shall meet cpurl :) Someday :)
That is soooo pretty, and such a bargain! I think it would work really well with that pattern (one I've had my eye on too!)
LOVELY. What a fantastic deal and gorgeous colors! I think Mr. Greenjeans will be great!
That's some hunky hanks you have there!
I like your cans too ;-)
Thank you ;) I bet that will make a gorgeous Mr. Greenjeans - I can't wait to see you start knitting it up.
Oh, that yarn is wonderful! What a deal. Mr. Greenjeans will be lovely.
I love the milk cans. You can always stick a plant on it too!
A hank of 1450 yards of worsted? For $40? NICE! I hate weaving in ends, so that is like hitting the lotto! Minus the millions of bucks of course.
It'll make a fab Greenjeans!
That explains that milkmaid outfit that you have.
As usual, beautiful photos. really gorgeous.
What a great deal. And the yarn is so pretty too - it would have been worth the full price. A bargain is so much more fun though.
That will be great as that cardigan!
Oh that was a fabulous steal!!
Definitely make Mr. Greenjeans with that lovely fiber!
did you know that they are worth $ to collectors? Other than looking seriously cool with awesome yarn on them!
Very pretty yarn, I love the intensity of the colors.
Holy Cow! That is a freakin' huge skein o yarn! Um..word to the wise..don't use your normal ball winder or swift on this! ;) (like you didn't already know that, but I had to be a wiseass! ;)
Gorgeous colors and that will be a really great Mr. Greenjeans! :)
Awesome find! I think it will make a fine Mr. Greenjeans.
Ooooh pretty! How lucky are you? An entire skein of handdyed enough for a sweater? Awesome.
Glad that kitty is ok.
And big wahey on the bargain yarn score!!!! The colours look beautiful - can't wait to see what you do with it.
Wooooooo baby! Dang that's a great deal, 1450 yards of worsted weight yarn. This is going to be so cool to see how it knits up with this pattern.
