You can double the yarn when you knit!

The Aira agent described it as a soft yellow-brown almost like bage, then deep earthy red-brown, then fern--which she discribed as being like a light green, then deep leaf green. It sounded really pretty. Lol when I asked if she thought it was kind of "elfy," she agreed with me. Made me think of a forest. Anyhow, It's so thin-feeling! What popped into my head right away was that it felt like Spaghetti, which then change to angel hair pasta. I'm not sure how much I like yarn this thin, but we'll see, I guess.

One of the Amazon reviews specifically mentioned using them with the sheath, so imagine my annoyance when I opened the envelope everything came in, only to find that there was no sheath with the scissors. :( That's another return I'm going to have to make to Amazon. I looked forever to find ones that came with sheaths that weren't too pricey and had good reviews! I should've just gone with the first ones I found, since the description specifically mentioned them coming with a sheath. Ah, well, live and learn, I guess. I was trying to avoid going above $10. I should've just done so. Or asked Aira to have a look at the pictures.
