No WIPs today. None that I want to show anyway but I do have yarn to show. One gifted and a couple that I picked up at Joann Fabrics.
For years I've kept telling myself that I am just going to stop-it with the acrylic yarns or the acrylic blends but I haven't been able to and the reality is, I don't know if I really want to stop. Some of them are sooo pretty. Can't I just love and have them all ? LOL !
This box was a gift from a fellow knitter. She's in a knitting group I belong to. It's Bernat Berella 4 in Cream at 195 yards at 12 skeins. Yes. A glorious 2340 yards of worsted weight. We're talking a really nice cabled cardigan/sweater or a nice sized afghan. I couldn't find a link to the Berella 4. I'm sure it's discontinued. LUV IT !!!
Here is Bernat Roving which is a wool/acrylic and very nice. I have 12 skeins which total 1,440 yards of bulky yarn. The color is Lichen #14 (green) and it's already designated for a bulky cardigan for my Mom. I love this yarn !
Last of all is my Martha Stewart Crafts in the 'Extra Soft Wool Blend' yarn. This color looks a bit minty but it's the Grey Pearl. It's aran weight and a wool/acrylic blend. So far I have only four skeins totaling 825 yards. It's very, very, very soft. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it and yes. I luv it !
So. There's my added stash for this week. Talk to You soon !
Enjoy Your Day !

I'm in the process of getting rid of a lot of my acrylic yarns (blog post coming soon) - but some I still plan to keep. I can't stand the real cheap, coarse stuff, but as you said some are downright beautiful, soft to touch, etc. Why should we pass them up?!
Very nice and I knit with acrylics all the time.
