Here's the yarn from the couple of orders I've made from The Knitting Zone (http://www.knittingzone.com/catalog/index.php):

Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock (http://s44.photobucket.com/albums/f40/ppn_2204/?action=view&current=LL.jpg), in Sage.

Artyarns Supermerino (http://s44.photobucket.com/albums/f40/ppn_2204/?action=view&current=Artyarns.jpg), in colour 131.

The LL is for the Lace Leaf socks, though I'm very tempted to use it for the Elfine's as I really want to try out the Magic Loop. I'm falling seriously behind!

The Artyarns is for a secret project... I'll post a photo when it's done though :D .

My Posh Yarn (http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f40/ppn_2204/Posh.jpg) arrived yesterday. I must admit to being a tiny bit disappointed.

Don't worry; the yarn is lovely and soft, and I do like the colours. It's just that I was expecting the yarn to have smaller sections of colour, instead of such large swathes. Maybe it's just how it's skeined, but mine does look a little different from what I was expecting (http://www.poshyarn.co.uk/colours.html).

I shall reserve final judgement until it's knitted up though. Now, I've just got to decide what to use it for... :huh:

It's like they only show you the most colourful bit on the website, or you get every colour shown on the site in one hank!

It's very unusual, I like it :)

It is rather nice, though it reminds me more of the sock yarn from Curious Yarns (http://www.curiousyarns.co.uk/sock2.html). I was expecting a little more variegation, as I've found that such blocks of colour in the yarn tend to translate to blocks of colour in the knitting. I usually like a more subtle effect.

But, we'll see what happens. I'll post some more photos once I've decided what the first skein is going to be used for.
