A lovely, feel good purchase!

I’m delighted with the color, feel and possibility this yarn hold! Bought it to make a gift, but I might just keep it🤭
Also, I always try to buy local and support women💞

colors

loved the colors and softness. Haven't started a project yet. I love pinks with blues greens and even some turquoise.

Even more beautiful “in person”

I bought two different colorways to use with a new pattern I had just seen. I spoke with the shop about how the colorways might work together, and decided to give it a try. I am soooo glad I did — the colorways overlap just enough and so vibrant!!! Can’t wait for winter so I can wear the shawl!!
