First, a picture of the box. It seems my box # wasn't added to the parcel, and the Post Office doesn't deliver to my home address (funny because I only live a block away, but that's another conversation!) Anyway, it took much longer than expected to receive, and the only reason why it wasn't sent back was because a lovely Post Office worker recognized my name and remembered my Box #. So, thanks mysterious government employee! :)

Then, I opened the box. I found a postcard first from my reddit gifter, with a picture of vieux Montreal on the front (ah, my home away from home, how I miss it), and a nice note on the back explaining that they'd looked for local yarn, and this was the only skein available.

Then, I open the white bag, and was stunned. What a gorgeous skein of lovely, pink wool! It's marbled with a whole bunch of colors, and I can't wait to find the perfect project to make something amazing with.

Thank you, reddit giftor! You found something lovely and beautiful for me, and even better that it's from a part of Canada that I miss dearly and love tenderly.
