Dream in Color

We are always looking for something fun, so when Dream in Color dropped us an email last week it seemed like the perfect time to reorder some Smooshy. We love Smooshy! It’s 100% Superwash Merino and 100% yummy. Since we were already ordering, some Starry jumped in the box too, you gotta love yarn friends! Starry is 98% Superwash Merino and 2% Lurex (That’s a fancy word for SHINEY). Wanna see? Of course you do…
Dream in color Smooshy and StarrySee, it’s the super pretty stuff in the middle shelf!

So, if you are looking for some fun, summertime one-skein projects come check out the latest from Dream in Color (we have patterns too).

Surprise Trunk Show

  • Posted on January 30, 2013 at 1:07 pm

Sherry just left and left a little something behind!
Isn’t it lovely? This is a full rack of Tenino, the lastest yarn from our friends at Brooks Farm Yarn. Tenino is the yarn you got to sample first at our Anniversary Party/ Yarn Tasting. Named Tenino by Liz Grigorian, our lucky Name the Yarn contest winner. Tenino is 50% Merino 50% Tencel and 100% wonderful! The merino gives it a lovely softness and the Tencel makes it shine like silk. Each skein has 6.5oz (400 yds!) and sells for $30. Sorry, no discounts may be applied towards this special trunk show. The Trunk show is available through the end of February, but the best selection is NOW. Be sure to make plans to come by and see for yourself, because really – nothing beats seeing and feeling it in person!
