Just as we were scrambling to get ready for our big TV debut on Thursday, UPS pulled up to the door with giant boxes of yarn. Usually a cause for celebration, on that particular day, the boxes presented a bit of a challenge. There was no time to check in all the yarn AND get it on the shelves before people started to arrive.
Quick! Stash it in your car, says Becka.
But not before we peeked at the contents. TV cameras or not, we had boxes of fiber before us. They had to be opened and admired.
Spilling forth were bags and bags of the fall Noro.
New colors in Kureyon and Silk Garden.
And the new Noro Silk Garden Sock Yarn:
See that third one? I am in love with it. As you peel back the layers of the skein, another brilliant color emerges. I could just stare at it for hours. Becka had a hard time leaving the shop on Thursday because I kept calling her over to look at this color. And, oh!, this one too!
With 40% Lamb's wool, 25% Silk, 25% Nylon, and 10% Kid Mohair, this yarn will make gorgeous socks. But, I have my eye on a colorful, silky shawl for fall.
Also arriving on Thursday, and promptly selling out, was the fall Interweave Knits.
This issues has many stylish, chunky knits for the approaching cold weather - well worth picking up if you see it.
