So when I got to the shop on Tuesday, there were almost a dozen boxes waiting on the porch for me (and a customer!). Amazingly enough, Reggie and I were able to upack most of them! So here are the goodies:
Auracania, the folks in Chile who make Nature Wool and Patagonia, have two gorgeous new yarns out this season, Atacama and Magallanes:
Atacama is 100% hand-dyed alpaca; it knits up as worsted weight and is a beautiful sweater yarn.
Magallanes (pronounced mag-ah-yah-nez, I think? Spanish speakers, please correct me if I'm off on that) is a thick & thin DK weight hand-dyed wool. I didn't take more color pics because we still haven't unbagged it all! And it will Felt!
And was anyone looking for Nature Wool? Because we got in a boatload, including some bright new colors:
We also received the sumptuous Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk DK. You all have to see the amazing designs in the book for this yarn, they are elegant and gorgeous.
We also got in a few new colors of Soho (check out Karabella's Marble on the shelf above it):
And Lorna's Laces came in yesterday, too! We have Helen's Lace back in stock:
And also for you lace knitters, we're now stocking Jaggerspun's Zephyr, a silk/wool blend:
We have lots of Lorna's sock yarn in stock:
And for spinners and wannabe spinners, we have Lorna's handpainted roving:
And beautiful spindles by Steve Kundert in handturned woods:
And if you didn't make it by this past thursday night, I have to say you missed some amazing cake!
