A wonderful big box arrived! My aunt and I got a ball winder and six new colors of dyes! I’m so excited. I can hardly wait to start winding dye balls . . . no. Dyeing wind balls . . . Oh! Balling wound dyes. Aaah!

We tried the ball winder out on some store-bought yarn. It worked beautifully. We got it rather inexpensively at Knitting-Warehouse. I wasn’t expecting them to ship here very quickly, but they got it to me in just a few days.

There’s an umbrella swift (to hold the yarn skeins) and some blank yarn and fiber coming from another store. At least I think it’s coming. I haven’t heard anything back from them about a tracking number. Hmm. I’d better go check on that.
