I couldn't have asked for a better yarn Santa! S/he read my likes/dislikes and acted accordingly. I said I'd been bitten by the sock knitting bug and would love a skein of local-to-Santa or hand-dyed fingering-weight yarn. Guess what I got!?

I received two skeins of lovely, squishy Lang Yarns[1] Jawoll Superwash 75/25 in a beautiful dark grey. That's enough for a luxurious pair of socks! (Now comes the fun part of picking a pattern and knitting it. Yay!)

On top of that, I also received one hank of gorgeous, hand-dyed Abstract Cat[2] Superwash Bluefaced Leicester in the "Haws" colorway. It's a beautiful, rich cranberry red. It's almost too pretty to make socks out of it! It'll take a little time before I figure out what this yarn wants to be...

I also got an adorable card from Santa with a handwritten note. (Is it just a coincidence that the puppy on the card has his belly exposed and I subscribe to /r/puppybellies[3]!?) S/he explained that both yarns were purchased at Glasgow's own The Yarn Cake[4] shop. It sounds lovely! If I'm ever Scotland-side, I'll have to stop in.

Thank you, Yarn Santa! I love the yarn and I'm very excited to knit with it.

I hope your yarn exchange experience is a great one! :)
