While I was on the island last weekend, I picked up some more supplies from the yarn lady of Handmade Hugs. I used up all of the stuff I had picked up last fall so I was ready for more. Here is one bag of lovely yarn:

Isn't that a nice colour palette? Nice and warm autumn colours. And look at the old-skool ball band. It says it's from Condon Yarns. My hubby was intrigued and did a little bit of research on the now-defunct company, which was open way on the other side of Canada in PEI.

I had a lot of winding to do, which usually I don't mind. But this was a big old bag of wool, so I decided to buy myself a treat!

Two yarn cakes! And more to come, wheeee!
