When I ran out of the yarn for my sister’s Clapotis, the only place I could find to order more from was Herrschners. The only stumbling block was the requirement for a minimum USD$50 order for overseas buyers, so I decided to pad it out with something a bit special.

Having read of the wonders of Noro Kureyon, but finding it difficult and expensive to get here I decided to fill out the rest of my order with a few balls of it as a treat.

My order arrived today, after Andy’s actual birthday, but in plenty of time for her party at the end of June.

And here’s the Noro:

The picture doesn’t really do the colours justice.

Of course my darling sister has since decided that, instead of gifts, she wants donations to the CARE challenge she’s taking part in in November. She can take the Clapotis along to wear in the cool of the evenings.
