To say my yarn Santa went above and beyond with this gift is a total understatement! I've never felt so spoiled in my entire life.

First of all, this amazing Santa contacted me very soon after matching to ask what tones of colour I prefer when it comes to yarn, as I was a little vague in my profile. The ones she suggested perfectly aligned with what I generally would choose for myself, so right away I knew I was going to have a very special Santa. Even with that in mind, I wasn't prepared for what came in my mail today.

I opened the package to find a beautiful bag containing all kinds of wonderful goodies! First was a handwritten note. I was so happy to hear this was my Santa's first exchange. I'm so honoured!

Next I found a few items that made my jaw drop. Three unbelievably gorgeous hooks. I've never used any that are this fancy, and I'm almost scared to use them. Have no fear though, that feeling will pass very soon :)

Next was the yarn. Not only are they more luxurious than anything I've crocheted with to date, but the colours match what my wedding colours were! This is where I got almost teary eyed. This colour combination is so special to me, and I cannot believe my Santa happened to pick these exact two shades. I cannot wait to make myself something beautiful with this yarn!!

There are 6 balls of Diamond Luxury Collection Fine Merino Superwash Aran wool. Three balls each of blue and royal purple.

Last was something I didn't even know existed until today (just to prove my extreme lack of crochet refinement). A bottle of Eucalan, a laundry detergent specifically for yarn.

I cannot say enough good things about this incredible gift. Wow wow wow. Thank you so very much for this amazing gift, melanthalea! You are absolutely the best!
