Just thought I'd say something -- all of the yarns in the voting for handpun yarn were just gorgeous. I have crocheted since I was in my teens and knitted for the last 4 or 5 years with thread and with yarn, so I have worked with various different yarns since my teens. There was no way I could vote -- all entries were just wonderful!

LadyLuLus

So so pretty, ALL of them!
