Ken always liked a deal. I also like a deal. Within a couple weeks two places have offered yarn discounted at 50%! That is a deal. And I took advantage of it, and bought several skeins of Merino wool for projects.

Swift
When Ken was alive he held skeins so I could wind balls. Now he is gone, and a friend showed me her basic swift and ball winder.

Ball winder
She would gladly wind all the balls I wanted. But she lives an hour away. So I found and bought a basic swift and ball winder for myself.
It is wonderful!
Stay tuned for photos of what I make with the yarn.
