Fluffy/Woolly mail PIP and a WWYD

LadyExtravaganza

Great mail day! Although DH was home to witness it

A SYOF (The Incredible) from Mamamade, Galactica from GM, 2 gorgeous woollies from 1&only, and some wool yarn.

Some FOOB fabric and a new large sandwich bag from Mamamade:

 

And now for my WWYD....

Here is the link and stock photo for the yarn CLICKY

Now, it says it's brown, and I ordered the trim in the matching brown. But really it's a plum/eggplant purple color. And the "poppy red" fades into a pink/salmon-y color. Should I contact the seller? She says right in the listing that the color will look different on different bases, so I feel like I shouldn't. And the yarn is GORGEOUS and so soft. But I don't know if I will really use it for DS.

Here's a close-up:

In my opinion "looks different on different bases" means you may get a dark brown on one base and a light brown on another.  It does not mean listing says brown and you get purple.  So yes I would contact them.  Oh and I can't wait to see OTB pictures!!

Wow, awesome fluffy mail!  I'm drooling a little bit over here

As far as the yarn goes, it is gorgeous but it definitely looks purple, not brown.  I would definitely contact the seller.  I don't have any experience with yarn, but I would assume that it should be the same general color even on different bases.  (Does that make sense?  Meaning there are a multitude of shades of each color, but brown = brown, brown =/= purple)

I agree with pp that different bases does not equal totally different colors, and I would consider brown and purple different colors.  Also, it's a different color that makes the yarn non-GN.  I'd contact the seller and see what they say.

Oh, and I waaaant the woolies!  They're gorgeous!

Good, I'm glad you ladies think it's weird that the color came out purple. I'm going to email her. But I hate hate hate being confrontational even in the least bit, so I don't even know what to say! I wish everything was always as fabulous as my 1&only woolies so this wouldn't be a problem

Jealous of your mail!

The yarn is still very boyish, even if it is the wrong color.
