the order was obviously despatched promptly but royal mail delivery made me happiest as when i was out, the postman had the nounce to leave the well wrapped package in my red box rather than take it away for my later collection. my only disappointment with marriners 100gm dk was the fact there seem to be many shades of girlie pink but only one yellow - i'm thinking mustard, old gold, citrus - rather than the rather insipid babyish pale version called 'sunrise'? mm, can't order next time by colour name with confidence as labels on balls are numbers. order on behalf of knit and natter group.
