When I was a child, my mother would give me odds and ends from her
knitting projects, and I’d make do with these yarn remnants just so long
as I had yarn.

I think back now to my early knitting days the sweaters, scarves and
mittens knitted together with a mixture of yarn types in a multitude of
colors. It never bothered me that I had to use whatever I could get my
hands on but as I grew up I could afford to buy my own balls and shanks
of yarn, and I would finally knit something that someone else, apart
from me, would wear. A few years back I discovered hand spun and hand
dyed yarns. It was love at first sight. Using these beautiful yarns
brought so much enjoyment. I would scour every local yarn store and yarn
festival looking for rare and unusual yarns. Without really realizing
it, I was only using these exotic hand dyed yarns.

I would dismiss yarns that I had used years before as being well,
rather boring and ‘commercial’. In all honesty I’d turned into a yarn
snob. The wake up call when I was asked to crochet slippers for a friend
of a friend’s wedding. The bride’s dress was pure white, and none of
the natural fibers I found were ‘white enough’. With the sound of
wedding bells rapidly approaching I sought, in desperation, a yarn to
match. I scurried down to my local yarn store and it was there that it
was suggested to me that I try a Sridhar yarn called ‘Snuggly Bubbly’. I
didn’t really know very much about Sridhar yarn,
