Leave the box out, or stuff it in a bin and hope that your DH (who was aware of the purchase, but would perhaps be startled by the sheer volume) wouldn’t stumble across it?
More details and pics after the jump…
Got my Crown Mountain Farms co-cop order yesterday. Sigh. This is some beautiful fiber, folks…and lots of it.
Clockwise, from top left: Beat Goes On. I got a pound and a half of this, intending to spin and knit myself a sweater. Yo, that’s a lot of fiber. It Takes Two. I’m spinning that one for a friend. I was thrilled that she chose it because otherwise I would have had to buy it for myself. Twist and Shout. For me, not sure what it will become. Mustang Sally. Also spinning for a friend.
It was my goal to finish spinning the CMF superwash (Brown Eyed Girl) that I got for Christmas before this batch arrived. While the spinning was done, I hadn’t finished plying yet….but I took care of that last night while watching American Idol *and* the last 4 episodes of 24. *yawn*
I was really pleased with the yardage — a little over 450 yards (not sure of the wpi, I’m guessing it’s DK-ish) from 8 oz. of fiber. I’m not sure what will become of this — perhaps I will sell it so I can buy more fiber. Or more bobbins. Or something.

I’d stuff it away. Definitely stuff it away until asked about it!
Nice colors!! I need to learn how to spin so badly I can’t even put it into words. I love the brown-eyed girl!!

I say spread it all out on the bed and roll around in it. Artistically place the bundles around the house and ask “Doesn’t this fiber just *make* the room?” Snuggle them at night, and offer him one to snuggle as well.
Be proud of your obscene fiber purchase. And get to spinning.

That is some gorgeous fiber! You’ve got some serious spinning to do, but I like Jenn’s idea first

I hope the reason you’ve been silent this long is that you’re too busy spinning to post…..

It Takes Two is gorgeous. It makes me want to start up knitting again just to make something cute with it.
