Colours of the rainbow

A while ago I received what every respectable crafter believes to be a dream come true.
I received a whole box of embroidery yarn accompanied by a dozen knitting and crocheting needles in different sizes by a very special person who is 'at the sunset of her crafting' according to her own words.

I picked one from each colour to make the palette. Along with my own collection this is going to be a true rainbow! Can't wait to return to my embroidery!
