Welcome to episode 2 of my vlogtober / MKAL mash-up. This episode is all about the unboxing of the yarn!

This year I’m using wool by The Urban Purl:

Thank you! We're trying to do more fun packaging and extra goodies for all of our events. :)

Wow! I didn’t realise how intense it would be to purchase a kit. Love the colours and I think the label is a nice touch. Have a great week. Thanks from Australia 🐨🐨🦘🦘

Love your colours! Didn't realise you could purchase kits for it....so cool.

What a fabulous kit! I have a couple of skeins of Leila's yarn in my stash, she has a fabulous eye for colour. All the extra little bits and pieces make the kit really special too. I hope you enjoy making the shawl!

[PinsandNeedles]

Loving your MKAL vlogs! Beautiful yarn choice.

Hi, what pretty colours!! Angela at YarnNYarns recommended you and I'm so glad she did. I'm working my way through your videos but couldn't resist checking this one out when I saw it pop up. Can't wait to see how the shawl comes along! Take care, Kim x

Yay, there it is xD

wonderful - plus a good exercise now in lockdown times (sitting on the floor and having to get up again)
I forbid myself to buy wool for it which obviously has the disadvantage to find a nice combo youself but you really get to know your stash (sometimes you have to even if you don't want to take a close look on the huge amounts...) and you're decreasing (hopefully). So I polish _my_ halo for that at least.
(Don't tell anyone i bought 2 wooly Advent calenders.. I'm an Advent addict :D )

I have just found your channel and I soon subscribed! And now I find out we bought the same kit :O)

Got a bit distracted watching the sewing bee in the background of your intro :D
