The June instalment of the Waterloo Wools Sock Yarn Club arrived yesterday. Called “Castle Krumlov”, it’s a 50% merino/50% tencel blend yarn in a shimmery, jewel-like combination of reds, oranges, purples and blues. Definitely destined to be a shawl, I think any of the patterns I picked for the February yarn would also work with this one. 
I’m really enjoying this club. I like the surprise (well, semi-surprise as I often sneak a peek at the spoiler thread in the Waterloo Wools Ravelry Group!) each month of getting a yarn in colours I wouldn’t necessarily choose myself and the ability to pay monthly, which is probably an incitement for me to stay a member for longer. 
And just getting squishy parcels every four weeks, which always magically manage to arrive at exactly the right time – for example, when I have a grumpy baby or it’s raining – and I am suitably cheered. My only regret is that I am so slow at getting projects finished right now, and I can’t knit the yarns up fast enough!
I have been very impressed by all the colours you have shown – but I haven’t knitted up any of my socktopus club socks yet so I MUST behave!
