I live in the US where would this ship from?

 

[HandyFamily]

It ships from Bulgaria.
Shipping for the whole 5 skeins would be 15 euro with priority mail or 10 euro - with regular mail. For one skein it would be 5 euro with priority or 4 with regular.
And
4 euros = 5.1856 US dollars
5 euros = 6.4820 US dollars
10 euros = 12.9640 US dollars
15 euros = 19.4490 US dollars

According to google (the actual rates of PayPal counts, but...)

It's a bummer shipping is so high! Beautiful yarn

 

[HandyFamily]

I'm sorry about that shipping rates too - alas, this is the posts rates, I can't do anything with them...

 

[Nicolemj523]

I can't believe how much the rates have gone up over the years!

 

[HandyFamily]

Yea, for most of the things I send or purchase the shipping is either more or about the same I pay for / charge for... It's really frustrating.

Does this feel like a wool or like a cotton? I have never seen this in person and tend to not like acrylic yarn. However it's colors are beautiful and my favorite combo! Can you compare it to another yarn?

 

[HandyFamily]

It feels somewhat like cotton, but... I don't quite know how to explain it, sleeker. Definitely not like wool, I am allergic to it and... most times can't work with it at all, alas. So it is probably not as warm as wool also. It is soft like cotton, but not as... fluffy, and more... sparkling in looks - reflects light more, has some "silky" effect to it's looks.
