Ordered Sunday, arrived Tuesday. Colours are incredibly intense (and there are some mad combos on there for the more adventurous sock knitter :lol: ) and the yarn smells lovely and fruity. I love my Posh Yarn but the smell of vinegar isn't the best in the world! Will definitely be back for more, next time I fall off the stashalong wagon :oops:

I'm a big fan of Laughing Yaffle yarns too! Great service, and some gorgeous colourways. And Ali does a sticker card scheme, so you get a sticker for every £10 (I think - don't have the details to hand) you spend, and can then redeem when your card is full for more yarn! Now that's got to be good!

Sorry ;)

There are pics of what I bought in my gallery pages.

The Electra is particularly eye-popping ... I can't wait to use it :lol:

Norty enabler Helen.

I also had not heard of this site before but have added it to my favourites.

I am on a self-imposed yarn diet until I have finished a few garments. Grrr, I'm struggling, having seen all those gorgeous colours!!

I bought a skein of her sock yarn last year and it's lovely. I haven't used it yet (it's black and magenta and the colours are beautifully dense) as I can't decide whether to make a pair of vanilla socks to show off the colours, or something patterned. I'll definitely be back to buy more from Ali as the service was fab as well :)
