I traded a bunch of silk floss for two gorgeous skeins of yarn. This one was a whopping 585 yards of approximately DK weight. It's a 2-ply yarn in a variety of pastels, with the colors combining differently all thru the skein.

I'm crocheting a Crobaktus with it and hope to have enough left for a pair of fingerless mitts to match. The colors will go with most of my winter wardrobe, so I'll get a lot of use from it. I'll update with a better photo next week after I have a bit more done.
