Grace, The yarn is beautiful! It totally reminds me of the marigolds at my mom's!
Thanks so much Monica - I remember that was the first plant I taught the boys to grow - they still each year plant some no matter where they are.... Glad you like the yarn.
I think I am glad that they are now all happily at my house!! hehe!!
Hugs,Monica
