Not among my usual colorways, and I still don’t quite understand its fascination for me, but there you have it. Here is a lovely two ply sport weight yarn of 50/50 merino/tencel blend. A salmony pink with streaks of cotton candy yellow, this yarn has great loft and an airy softness. Perfect for a snuggly cowl or small shawl. Approximately 400 yds. available.
$18/100 yds.
Though I’ve never been a big fan of living in the city (I hear sheep are frowned upon in apartment buildings), I do love to visit! What better accessory for the bright lights than this Deluxe Simple Tote? I may have gotten a little carried away on the pocket count here–there are NINE!–but, you can never have too many pockets, right? This tote has a quilted shell and is fully lined. There are two exterior pockets, one on each end, and seven interior pockets of varying sizes–two have snap closures to keep items secure–as well as an interior divider to make two main sections. The all-over city print is complemented by busy taxi traffic on each end, and by windows that look onto the bag’s busy interior. Great for a special visit, or everyday city life!

It’s a little chilly here today in southeastern Pennsylvania. What better way to fight the cold than a big dye-pot of bright blue mohair?!
Soon this will be cool enough to spread out next to the woodstove to dry. Then it’ll be time to begin the anti-cat-napping-in-the-wool maneuvers. The fun never ends around here!
This particular fiber came from our own Reuben, an angora goat. He passed on about two years ago, but left a good deal of fabulous fiber behind, as well as some great stories.
Reuben was famous for getting his horns stuck in the stock wire fence for the first several years of his life. It became such a routine for the both of us that he didn’t even bother to bleat about it, but would simply stand patiently and wait for me to notice that he was stuck–again. Not too bright, but very sweet, with a fine fleece. Four oz. packages available for spinners and crafters, dyed, or his natural gray.
4 oz. dyed–$25
4 oz. natural gray–$20
Please inquire about other colors, as well as roving and yarn.
