this is my first exchange, and i am soo happy to have participated.

my santa definitely hit the mark with my request for softness and new fibers for me to try. the purple/pink merino/silk lace weight feels like it is going to be divine to work with, and it has my two favorite colors. it's also by an indie dyer from hawaii which makes for a super exciting way to pop my indie dyed yarn cherry. the blue skein is super soft as well, and is definitely going to make a wonderfully comfy pair of socks. and, the pink beaded/sequined silk yarn was a fantastic surprise! when i saw the beads were murano, i may have gotten slightly over-excited (my man is from reggio emilia, and we visited venezia a couple months ago, but sadly, i came home without any murano glass).

thank you meruitmade for such amazing yarn and for making my first exchange so fantastic!
