The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together





The unfamiliar jargon and sheer multitude of options is overwhelming. Ombre, cordet, guimpe, organdy? Velvanna, nubby, sport fingering, wool-o-nyl? I can't tell where a trademark meets a technique.

    They may have misspelled "quality" but they did make quality yarn. I picked up a box @ a thrift shop - 10 skeins of Aqua Velvanna in the original box. Every skein is perfect!!! The color is beautiful!
