Gorgeous yarn.

I bought two skeins of this gorgeous yarn to make two cowls-fingers crossed they are completed for Christmas. The yarn is so soft and the colours are perfect. They arrived quickly and beautifully packed. I’m so tempted to buy some more!! 🙂

Manos Alegria grande

This is a really lovely wool. It just slides along the needles when knitting and gives excellent stitch definition. I love the colours, also the weight and drape of finished garment .
