My Cracksilk Haze addiction is well documented on this blog. I guess I have just found out why recovering addicts are not supposed to hang around with people with similar addictions….
Jenny, one of the Guilty Knitters, has been doing some serious destashing. She generously offered me her unwanted Kidsilk Haze, knowing I would give it a good home. 😀 Thank you Jenny!
She warned me it was all scraps and part balls …I was excitedly expecting a small freezerbag of oddments… Then the two big carrier bags came out! I had been given a huge amount – here’s most of it laid out while I was photographing it for my Ravelry Stash…
There were almost as many full balls as there were part balls. I happily started to log them on Ravelry…
… Then it dawned on me. What I was seeing in Ravelry didn’t quite match my “Kidsilk Box of Shame”. Time for an audit 😮
I have spent most of today sorting out and checking my Kidsilk stash – There were quite a few odd balls that hadn’t been added to Ravelry (all the large amounts were in there) and a few clear blunders. Want to see what a drawer full of KSH looks like all over the floor?
And this is still in the box – look at all those odd balls…
It was at this point I decided that KSH, if left alone in a dark cupboard will in fact breed like Star Trek tribbles!
I also decided that I was out of space. Something had to go. I had built up 38 balls of Kidsilk Aura in a combination a sales “yarn grabbing” and friends’ destashes and, although I love this jumper, Liliana from made from Aura…
…I’m not mad keen on another fuzzy jumper that thick and warm. The Kidsilk Aura has to go.
It has moved to my destash page on Ravelry if you are interested 😉

So what about my KSH status? Hmm – I really don’t want to confess the magnitude of my sins…
…OK – If you insist…
a whopping 222 balls of Kidsilk Haze, Spray, Night and Eclipse!!
I really need to knit some of this or start eating it….
Oh MY! That’s a LOT more than I was expecting. I definitely think you need to find lots of BIG projects to use that on, or just add a strand to whatever yarn you are using in every project to make everything fuzzy and warm.
That IS impressive!! I think that Rowan should name a colourway after you to honour your brand loyalty!!
That’s like me and sock yarn – its the one type of yarn that I go for these days… That and Debbie Bliss’s Cashmerino DK…
I understand your passion….I’m not a knitter, but I have just finished a l-o-n-g lace project with Kidsilk Haze…isn’t it lovely to knit with?
So proud of my finished scarf….. http://noraathome.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/knitting-purge-4-ta-dahs.html
Now deciding what to do with the 2 balls I have left (the scarf took less than a ball!)
Just found your blog and will be adding you to my list of regular reads 😀
