Cashmere from Yubina.com

Kelly, here’s the pictures I promised of the yarn I ordered from Yubina.

First of all, it arrived in a box with pretty Chinese stamps:

It came packed pretty tight into the smallish box:

Four beautiful skeins:

The color is a truer red than this picture shows, neither orangey nor purpley:

The yarn is fine, and the skeins are so pretty:

Winter is for fancy knitting
