Old Hooked #2: "New Yarn" (9-17-10)

Well I'll be honest; the new yarn was a huge disappointment :( It's not necessarily the seller's fault, but the pictures were kind of misleading. I thought I was buying worsted weight, when in fact, I was buying fingering. So now I've got a few hanks of embroidery-floss-sized yarn, and no idea what to do with them. The grab bag box wasn't a total loss, though. The main complaint I have with it is that hardly any of the hanks are plied, so they're a pain in the patella to ball up. Lesson learned: eBay yarn = not necessarily a good idea unless you know what you're looking for.
