It's still a secret

I decided that I'm going to share a bit about the new yarn today. It's a brand new company, I still can't share the name, but here are the 5 yarns.

1. A single ply, fingering weight, 100% superwash merino
338m/370 yards on a 100gram skein
Derecho was knit in this yarn.
1 skein each of 3 colours.

2. Merino wool and nylon blend fingering weight sock yarn
390m/425 yards on a 100gram skein

We used one skein to knit the Monkey socks.
3. A double knitting weight yarn
80% merino wool
20% silk
220m/240 yards on a 100gram skein
The Squish Me cap took 1 skein.

4. 100% Superwash Merino Wool
worsted weight
150m/164 yards in 100gram skein
The Elder Tree Shawl took 5 skeins

5. Sport weight
75% merino wool
15% silk
10% cashmere
290m/317 yards on 100 grams skein
Ishbel took 2 skeins.

I like to be prepared and it's a good thing. The yarn was supposed to be picked up on Friday and delivered tomorrow. Something happened and they didn't pick it up. The trucking company said tomorrow and I should have it on Wednesday. Thank goodness we didn't wait until the last minute:)
