[Chat] LCA RPG Knit-along &/or fibering meetup

[VM Brasseur]

I saw possum/merino in a LYS in CBD Hobart last time I was there, but even with the currency exchange discount it wasn't lower cost than I could find here at home. It was still very pettable, though. :)

Instead I ended up with a skein of Tasmanian merino superwash from a local dyer. It's been a really nice yarn to work with so far, and it was good to support the local wool industry in a little way.
