Birthday Recap

My kid is living on the Right Coast and has access to loads of fiber festivals. She's also managed to find a really supportive knitting group - thanks to Ravelry.
Anyway - before they went to Rhinebeck - they went to Maryland Sheep and Wool. While there - she found this lovely grey lace weight that is threaded through with color. She bought two hanks for me and set it aside for my birthday. She mailed it when she went to Rhinebeck.
It's completely unlabeled so I don't know the fiber content or yardage - but I'm sure it will make lovely shawl.

  4. An alpaca/wool blend? I'm guessing, based on the englarged photo... but it's beautiful. I wonder if a Christmas present is hiding from Rhinebeck? Oh - never mind. I know what she's giving you! Nanannybooboo!
