Yeah I thought so. I love it so much that I ordered 2 hanks of each of the colors you see above from Yarn Country. I even managed to get some of it on sale! The top color, Summer Sky Heather, is going to be a lovely Star Crossed Slouchy Beret for my sister. The other colors, Highland Green, Birch Heather and Wheat Heather, will be made into as yet unnamed goodies for loved ones. The colors are gorgeous and the llama/wool mix is soft and light. Needless to say, I was very excited when my mailman buzzed me to tell me he had a package for me!
I've also decided what I'm going to do about a conundrum that has occurred. Some people want to pay for yarn if I make them something figuring that there's no reason for me to be GIVING them knitted goodies. To assuage their feeling of owing me something I've decided that, since I feel funny taking money from family and friends, that they can buy me knitting books or patterns! I think this is a good compromise and will build up my knitting library while keeping everyone's ears warm!

I'm just itching to buy you the Stitch 'n Bitch boy patterns book, so, um, you know.
Love the pretty colors!
And it's an excellent compromise. Yarn for free is the sure fire way to go. Good luck with it!
Ahem. Gold yarn, Gretel hat. Just saying. And consider this payback for terrorizing me as a child. xo
