Opal Yarn 9687 Monet's Garden Iris Set of 2 balls Purchased at the Matsuya Ginza "Knitting Happiness - Martina and the Magic Fair" May be shipped compressed. Please be aware of this beforehand. I have stored it carefully after purchase, but it has been stored at home by a non-professional. I took it out of the bag for the photo. Any scratches on the band or fraying of the yarn existed from the time I received it from the store clerk. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to these issues.
