Poems...

Universal Yarns have come out with a few new colorways....And here are three I just had to make available to Poems lovers. I haven't knitted them up as of yet, they just arrived yesterday, but knowing the beautiful way Poems colors shade and display themselves....these new colors will be a treat!! Hope you agree...

HAND SPUN TREASURES...

Here are a few pics of the lovely Hand Spun I recently acquired. As I stated, it has all been washed, conditioned, dried and measured...there are four Colors...A Light Green--600yds, a Darker Green--990yds, a Rust/Brown Blend---430yds and a Natural/Green/Brown Blend--517yds. They are all 100% wool, a very nice twist, I'll bet great for vests, sweater, hat or felted mittens among many other choices...Very reasonably priced...Purchase all skeins of one color...25% discount .....[click on pics for close up of colors]

Sallie's Alpaca...Locally milled....Natural Off White Color, 6 skeins/150yds/Alpaca/Seacell/Tencel and 6 skeins/150yds/Alpaca/Merino/Nylon/Soysilk...Both are lovely to look at and yummy to touch.....

Farmhouse Yarn Shawl...

HANDSPUN YARNS...LOTS OF IT!

I belong to a spinning group...Island Pond Spinners...Recently a fellow member had a stash of goodies she wanted to part with....I purchased all of the Hand Spun Yarn she had...What a Treasure Trove!!! Whomever did the spinning did a great job but lost interest and didn't finish by setting the twist. So....Monday Morning Laundry...I washed and conditioned 30 skeins of yarns and hung them on our porch to dry!!! What a sight...Beautiful Sight...Do you not agree?? Stop by and give it all a feel...

Magic Loop...

Hello everyone...Our Saturday's Magic Loop Workshop was AWESOME!!!! Kim did an terrific job of teaching us, she was very patient with us...and yes, I did say "US"...I know I said I'd never learn, didn't want to, had no desire...then I watched and HAD to do it too...It is fun once you get the jist of it...It's a rhythm! We were a little slow to get the cast on, we didn't get as far along as Kim had wanted us to... so she assigned us homework. We are meeting again on Saturday to keep the rhythm going! Kim is more than willing to repeat the workshop should anyone, like me, have a change of heart!! I'll take pics Saturday and post our progress...
