Another full day spent working on the Comfort scarves and the Straw Bale Knitters group.
Today I sent out a group email, "Straw Bale Knitters June Update" with Stats: 28 members, 2025 totals - 204 Comfort Scarves, 1 Shawl, and 15 hats sent to Handmade Especially for You, and Pics of donated yarns received in the last couple of months including Marya's yarn.

My contribution
My friend Diane responded as soon as I posted the group email and offered her help.
That is a lot of yarn. I promptly emailed her back and asked if she could wind skeins into balls. She readily agreed and I have already set some yarn aside for her. (The black yarn is 100% alpaca, yum.)
I have more yarn in the skein but I would like to wash them first.
I am glad Diane will be helping with yarn management. It can be a tedious process especially if the skein is tangled and needs to be wound off by hand.

Tomorrow I will return my attention back to the Log Cabin towels ... after washing some yarn.
