Packaged Arrived

 
After picking out my colors for my new project and purchasing online, I was so excited to receive them it seemed like it took weeks. Then I couldn't wait to open the box to see this...
 
 
 
Each are sold from the same shop Knitting Warehouse only different brand names. The blue one is Vicki Howell 70% acrylic 30% wool  a worsted weight 85g 167 yards of Sheepish yarn. The color is Robin Eggish. The other is Patons 100% pure new wool 50g gold color DK super wash yarn.
 
 I thought the robin eggish would be a tad lighter and the gold a bit more mustard color. It's hard to tell the exact color ordering online, which is why I ordered one of each color to be sure. I am going to search for a Rowan brand yarn to see if they have something a tad lighter. Plus, I haven't had the pleasure of working with Rowan yarns.
 
GIVE AWAY TIME!!!
