Inspiration: Green Uruguay Yarn

I was shopping at my local shop in Edinburgh for yarn (K1yans on 89 West Bow) and I found this amazing yarn from Manos del Uruguay which is a blend of silk and merino. Something that is great it has hand written inside where and who dyed the yarn! It allows the rural women to have an income, so I bought it not knowing what I will do with it. I may make a floppy hat or a scarf. It may even appear in some amigurumi if I get a bit better at it.
