I've been knitting a little over a year. In that time I've knit with acrylic (of course), wool, cotton, and superwash merino. That's pretty much it. My santa has now given me something completely different. I'm so damn excited!

The yarn I got for this exchange is, quite frankly, amazing. First off, the color combo is absolutely perfect. A heart-stoppingly beautiful blue called Sapphire (blue is my favorite color!) and a spot-on perfect complementary color called Almond.

The material is bamboo and silk. It's tough for me to describe how it looks & feels. It has this sheen to it that I know is going to be gorgeous knit up. I was always told you shouldn't describe something by calling it what it is, but I can't think of any other way to describe the absolute silky smooth way this yarn glides through your fingers (I may have played with it just a little bit). I spent what little time I had before bedtime last night searching for the perfect pattern (haven't found it yet!) rather than posting this thank you.

I should be ashamed that I didn't spend time thanking my santa for this amazing gift as my very first step after receiving it. This is a well thought out gift that is absolutely perfect for me and I am so thankful for it! I can't wait to put this on the needles.
