And also enhanced my stash way too much at Tess designs--slightly different color scheme though! Good luck on your knit from the stash plan--I tried that too and lasted about, um, 3 hours I think . . . . I bought exactly the same Acero–it’s amazing isn’t it?

Lots of lovely muted shades. I suppose this would be the wrong time to tell you that Y2E is having a big Mother's Day sale this weekend? :) Pretty yarns – they all go together so beautifully.

WOW! i had no idea that so many people liked Tess' yarns so much! I went to her booth at Stitches West this year and last and never heard anyone talk about it until MDSW this year. I'm so glad i have co-conspirators in how great her superwash merino is! i just love it...i'm using it to knit up a log cabin blanket. yum! :o) i know i'll have plenty left over to do a bit of sock/hat work too. but who knows. if you only need 2-3 skeins of worsted for a sweater....i'm probably going to have enough for at least one sweater! :o)heehee! nice haul!

I praise you in your effort to fight the stash....but I'm telling you from experience (of course, this might not apply to you, but this is my experience), that I emerged from my yarn diet totally knackered. It's better to exercise S.E.X. (Stash Enhancing eXperience) in moderation than to set yourself to rules. ;-) Yummy!

It's gorgeous! It's going to be something from Victorian Lace Today but I'm not sure what yet. I got some Acero too, that's some wonderful stuff! Nice haul!
