    I picked up some sari silk yarn today at the local wool store, Wool Trends. It&#39;s fabulous stuff and should prove eminently useful as I work through some of my next projects (another couple of books, a series of boxes and some bowls and vases). I have great hopes for it!

<p>  </a>  I picked up some <a href="https://secure.webquarters.ca/wooltrends/detailedproducts.asp?pid=50">sari silk yarn</a> today at the local wool store, <a href="http://www.wooltrends.ca/">Wool Trends</a>. It&#39;s fabulous stuff and should prove eminently useful as I work through some of my next projects (another couple of books, a series of boxes and some bowls and vases). I have great hopes for it!  As an aside, <a href="http://www.wooltrends.ca/">Wool Trends</a> is one of those fabulous shops that is crammed with all sorts of fibres.  One that caught my attention, apart from the sari silk, was <a href="https://secure.webquarters.ca/wooltrends/detailedproducts.asp?pid=105">Seasilk</a>, a seaweed fibres and silk composite. I almost bought some  and may yet go back for it (I just need a definitive purpose for it, as it was expensive). Have a look at the colours. They truly are as vibrant as they appear in the photos and the feel of the stuff&#8230;.. it&#39;s like flexible pussy-willows that drape like they were a part of your skin. Amazing stuff. All I need is a use for some&#8230;.</p>
