I received this beautiful fibery surprise from Ann in Australia. Starting on the left, we have Melanian top in its natural wheat colorway. It is incredibly soft and I cannot stop touching it! Next are two sets of Ann's delightful markers (essential when I knitted John's Habitat hat) and a darling project bag. On the right we have a beautiful Dreamee Wool Tops braid in natural colors beige, wheat, coco, and white. I have already spindle spun and spindle plied the braid and look forward to knitting a natural Fair Isle hat with the yarns. I'm thinking a nice lace project for the wheat Melanian top, with over half a pound, I will have enough yarn to knit one of the larger shawls from Victorian Lace Today.
Thank you to Ann for her wonderful gifts!
I am glad that you are enjoying spinning the fiber. I love spinning those Melanian tops too.

What a generous gift! It looks like hours and hours of fluffy fun.
