<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLse67DItbyCIhF232URI3dtfNZTNKqJnDiuMFUAi0H-9PySxWajVaQd6kvO1YxPY1WBpnWg88T63WxK-zs_SBY1sJTERG-2Hs7uEjXGZbmSrn4cqQA_DN_2L9YzNdO9QtXE00xhLLCxc/s1600/Bumper+bag+of+yarn.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLse67DItbyCIhF232URI3dtfNZTNKqJnDiuMFUAi0H-9PySxWajVaQd6kvO1YxPY1WBpnWg88T63WxK-zs_SBY1sJTERG-2Hs7uEjXGZbmSrn4cqQA_DN_2L9YzNdO9QtXE00xhLLCxc/s200/Bumper+bag+of+yarn.JPG" width="155" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm not a knitter, nor a crocheter. However my eyes lit up when I spied
this bag of yarn in my favourite charity shop a few weeks ago.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At only £1.00 it was a bargain too good to miss!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I don't know very much about wool, but I can see some of it is tapestry yarn. Some appears to leftovers from the previous owners projects wound into balls, and the remainder is a tangled mess. I'm going to have some fun unravelling it later today!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFgUKhVtlzMzJyEh3XQpC7-P2P8rrILux83Cn3W-hMvgyWgRO8r3FXUXHOsBSKUQLoMAYO4r3pgYDDmYg3_par1sDsDX00bxhpaA7i9Q-WFikkDoRi5Gk1Sj-fsTkMEIksz_X6hWkzoFw/s1600/Bumper+bag+of+yarn+wool.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="173" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFgUKhVtlzMzJyEh3XQpC7-P2P8rrILux83Cn3W-hMvgyWgRO8r3FXUXHOsBSKUQLoMAYO4r3pgYDDmYg3_par1sDsDX00bxhpaA7i9Q-WFikkDoRi5Gk1Sj-fsTkMEIksz_X6hWkzoFw/s200/Bumper+bag+of+yarn+wool.jpg" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So if I don't knit, why did I buy it? Well, I can use it with my French knitting spool (or Knitting Nancy if you prefer), and it's just the ticket for practising on a cool little retro craft gadget I picked up in another charity shop a couple of weeks ago (more on that in a future post).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I hope you enjoyed the first post in my charity shop finds series. Keep tuned for more!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Back in August I received an unexpected jiffy bag in the post. When I opened it I was delighted to find I had won some lovely <a href="https://twitter.com/Guetermann" target="_blank">Gutermann</a> seed beads in a <a href="https://twitter.com/makingjewellery" target="_blank">Making Jewellery magazine</a> giveaway.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It really made me smile as seed beads are my favourite type of beads!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've used some in a necklace and found them to be superb quality. </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I love the colours, and the containers are cute too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thank you Gutermann and Making Jewellery magazine! </span></div>
