Astonished by Yarn

There was this single little ball in my stash for about three years....

One ball of the uber famous Lily Sugar 'n Cream cotton yarn in some lovely pink n blue n cream stripes. I bought it on a whim actually, together with completey non-yarn related craft supplies simply because of its reputation. Just one ball, you know, to try and see what looked it like and how it would feel to the touch. 

I picked it up every once in a while but could not think about anything to do with it. I loved the colours but since it was such a tiny ball I was afraid I would run out of yarn in the middle of a project.

Until yesterday.

I got this sort of brilliant idea (probably not unique, but it does not matter to me!) and started off today.

Turns out this little ball is capable of producing not one, but probably TWO projects! After putting it on the scale with an almost finished project dangling next to it, it still weighs almost two thirds of the whole weight of the ball.

I was and am amazed. Are they making superpowers balls over there at Sugar 'n Cream?

(I have to admit I ran to the computer to find out if there were any stores in the Netherlands. There are two out there, although with a small selection. I bought a couple of balls anyway!)
