    I love the Detective Superintendant Hannasyde of Scotland Yard colorway. I remember spinning my sample and loving it. The merino sock yarn would make some amazing winter socks (I only wear socks in the house in winter - we're in Florida, what can I say).

    "I Know Too Much About Miss Beulah Birtley" BFL Kid is a colorway I've been trying to get right for a few weeks. How very gorgeous, so much nicer than any I've managed so far.

    The "Lichen" colorway didn't make me so much think of lichen as fields that are almost ripe, but still contain a hint of green.

    I am a huge fan of the carded rovings she offers. I love batts, but often have trouble when trying to section them off for spinning, so to me carded roving is the perfect answer, like batt-roving for ease of spinning.
