Stash Acquisition Saturday

I like yarn, it makes me happy..and I do not join any stash-busting KAL/CAL/Meme, because the reality is....it wouldn't happen....

The Hubs calls my stash...My Retirement Fund....when I retire in a bazillion years, I won't have the disposable income I have now....but I'll have the stash..and I know I will never use it all up, but I don't care...I do donate stash, but never with the goal to reduce it...just to share it or because I come across stash I know I won't use....

Today we drove by a Hobby Lobby...and although I don't use much acrylic any longer and have tons of their yarn..I had that desire to turn into that mall....

But I did acquire some stash this week....as we went away and it is "holiday" stash...

I visited two LYS..one a farm stand LYS..The Hudson Valley Sheep and Wool in Red Hook, NY...(I'll blog about it later)...From there I obtained the 4 skeins on the left:  2 Silk/Merino blends, then the purple 3 ply handpainted, and the 3 ply Bulky.  I plan to use the bulky as the crown of a hat and the orange as the headband of the hat....

Then I went to Fabulous Yarns in Tivoli, NY...no pictures, as she is in the middle of moving..so I'll go back at some point....anyway I'd read online that she had IndigoDragonFly in stock....and I scored!!!  I got "Well put me on the short bus and send me off to clueless school."  The Lorne colorway from Angel...I love Lorne.  It's the one all the way to the right....The two in the middle are Madelinetosh....Tosh DK in Byzantine..and Tosh Merino Light in Firewood....

I also received some more in the mail, but more on those later...
