Secret Pal 2

I decided that as this was the first day I've had off for a couple of weeks I would be having a lay in. I was most disgruntled though when there was a loud knock at the door at some unspeakable hour. It turned out to be my postman with two parcels. One was my Star Wars collection which was somewhat overdue but that is down to the beloved postal strikes that we've been encountering and the other was my second SP11 parcel:



I managed to curtail my annoyance at this point and dived on the parcel and opened it up:



Inside there was this lovely card. I like pictures of poppies and thought it semeed wonderfully set against the blue of the paper:



Inside were munchable goodies:


The chocolate tastes very nutty and grainy but in an enjoyable manner. Not sure what the others are as I've yet to indulge. The yarn was not quite so scrummy though as it kept catching between my teeth. Perhaps it wasn't meant for munching on ;-)



My SP also put in this fibre for felting which she said had been hand-dyed using wild mushrooms and I must say its delightful colours. Am wondering though whether I'd be able to use Myrtle with it for spinning purposes.

The last of the goodies was this bar of soap made with honey and oatmeal for exfoliating. Am glad I read the label first as otherwise it would have gone the same way as the yarn and that would have been really silly wouldn't it?

Thanks for the wonderful spoils yet again SP :)

Wow, it arrived already! I´m glad you like it.
Yess, pls try to spin, it should work perfectly.
Actually the gray yarn is dyed with mushrooms, not the pre yarn. Pre Yarn is good to knit, crochet or spin.
Feel free to make some experiments :)
Your SP
