There is an awesome secret wool sale going on in Nelson at the moment. An elderly lady is getting rid of her stash. There are hundreds and hundreds of balls of wool. It is amazing. I went this morning and picked up a few goodies including the candy coloured balls above. Some are so old they are 1 ounce balls! Check out those old labels. I'm planning on adding some cream yarn, a crochet hook and a few hours (days?) on the couch and hoping to come up with something like this...or this or this.
Oh, psssst. If you're in Nelson and you'd like the details of the wool sale, get in touch...

You can never have too much wool! I'd love to be there. Well done for sniffing that out:)
Free? Yarn? *Wish* I lived in Nelson. Can't wait to see the results - pretty colours xx

Far, like I needed ANOTHER reason to wish we still lived in Nelson. I'm just going to pretend I didn't see this post. lalalalala.
I wonder what she had planned for so many balls of wool?!
I just gave you an award on my blog, no pressure though if they're not your thing!
I'm with the others and wishing I lived in Nelson right now. Dang. Hope you snaffle up heaps and heaps of pretty yarn!
