Yarn Treasure Box

It arrived!  My first wholesale order of yarn as Three Strands Fibreworks.  A 23 pound box full of Mango Moon yarn.   Mango Moon is one of several companies in the yarn world that work through women's cooperatives in needy areas of the world.  In this case Indonesia and Nepal.  Got to http://www.mangomoon.com/ to read more of their story. 



30 hanks of recycled sari silk,
20 skeins of recycled dyed viscose and
6 skeins of recycled rayon from sarongs









This yarn is amazingly soft and pliable for being a recycled product.  The colors are bold.  I have spent most of the day working out combinations of my new "toys" with existing stash. 


I have a wonderful mom who spent most of the day helping me wind it into centerpull balls so it's ready to weave into scarves, totebags and pillow tops. 

Getting ready for a large craft show in Joplin this December.
