Secret Pal 7 Survey
1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer higher quality and/or natural fibers)? Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand?
I won't lie. I'm a yarn snob. Acrylic is my kryptonite. And I despise self stiping sock yarn. Also, I don't like novelty yarns.

Yes, as the proud new owner of a Ashford traveller, I do spin. I can crochet, but I don't.
