Following are the wound skeins-can you see the various color schemes I was working in when I chose thees? Can you also now understand *why* I needed to purchase the pinkish and periwinkle/bluish skeins? I *had* to broaden my Koigu palette, don't you think? The far left color is actually not as black as it looks. Kind of more of a burgundy-black look to it.
And more Koigu PPPM!
And more Koigu with a splash of Shelridge Farms and Twisted Sister mixed in. Shelridge Farms is the greyed-out teal mix in the upper right hand corner. Twisted Sisters are the two far-right blue, greenish-brown mix. Definitely a couldn't pass-up purchase!

Ooooh, so pretty! thanks for the wonderful show! I suuuuurrrreee love Koigu KPPPM,yummy. Terry
ps - do you get your Koigu at different places? or more or less the same place?
Terry-you are too funny! Yes, Koigu is tres fabu! I hadn't bought Koigu PPPM since that last sale at a LYS when at the end as I was being rung-up, I learned that their old stock was remaining at the set price, but all the new would be more since prices had just increased. So, not on sale, but priced less than the new stock? Hmmmm-must be 'SALE'!-lol! That was maybe back in the spring of this year?
The others I purchased probably 1 1/2-2 years ago from various sources: LYS now closing (Yarn! in Alameda, CA), ImagiKnit, and Thread Bear Fiber Arts (on-line, but not a full-service on-line store since I think internet business got too crazy for them).
ImagiKnit (San Francisco) seems to have a healthy collection, as does Article Pract (Oakland) and of course, Greenwich Yarn (San Francisco where I got the 'sale' skeins!-lol!) has a pretty good collection, as well.
I'm better able to resist these days-not like when every time I saw KPPPM I HAD to buy 2 or 4 skeins! (That was when it was harder to find, too, due to the production...)
That is a lovely display of sock yarn. I heart Shelridge Farm!
