Gifts!

I drove up to Atlanta to spend a week visiting with my Mom.  She is an amazing lady!  She just got back from a trip to organize pharmaceuticals for the University of Miami Hospital in Haiti.  Earlier in the summer she went on a mission trip to Peru and look what she brought me back!
 The dark blue and orange is fingering weight wool.  I wound one hank into a cake and it weighs about 60 grams.  The light blue on the cone is light-fingering weight alpaca.  The cone weighs at least 5 pounds.  I couldn't begin to even guess at the yardage.  It is so soft!
And this is what I brought for my Mom.  It's the Adamas Shawl, in Plymouth Ecco-Cashmere.
