Black sheep, black sheep have you any wool?

Yes, sir......yes, sir.............three bags and 3 boxes full! I hit the mother load this weekend at a yard/yarn sale! I bought 7 computer boxes full of wool for 5 bucks each!
These are the reds.....
These are the greens.........
These are the light colors........
These are the skeins of Lamb's Pride by Brown Sheep..........
This is my Spanish Lavender that I will need to protect all this wool from moths.....
These are my favorite colors..... a cardigan for me and a cardigan vest for Michael.
These are the natural colors....
This is some Lopi that I bought, too..... already started a bulky cardigan....
These are some of the cottons that I bought... Cotton Fleece by Brown Sheep and Saucy by Reynolds.
Already my knitting friends and I have started making out our list of felting/knitting projects.
Nancy and I are going to do lots of felted clogs.
Cindy and I are going to do a large knitting tote.
I will over dye the colors that I do not like. That is the great thing about wool, you are not stuck with the color or shade.
The cottons will be used for a log cabin blanket or little girl's sweaters.
So much yarn, so little time..................

This reminds me of my grandmother. When she passed away, we had several yard sales and the thing we had the most of was... yarn! I can't tell you how many trash bags and boxes full of yarn we sold. She would always buy it when it was on sale, whether she had a need for it or not. Ha ha! :)
