Things are looking up.
Damn, I am so impressed with you guys… The thoughtful responses, the beautiful visions and ambitions you have for the upcoming year… Some of you are finishing school, starting school, starting new businesses, finding new career paths, starting families, and enjoying time with friends and family. It’s all so very optimistic and motivating… I feel like I have energy to move forward into 2007, don’t you?
Everyone’s a winner, baby, but Lynn from Knitterly Pursuits was the randomly selected winner! Lynn, drop me a line and let me know what you’d like, girl!
(L to R) Viola, November Rain, Cassis, Summer Skin, Orchid, Moss
Still making my way through a pile of wholesale yarn orders, but hopefully I’ll be caught up by the holidays! Last Thursday, I dropped off a giant box of yarns at three bags full and in it was some NEW yarn that I’m dyeing — it’s called ‘Silk Lamb Lace’ and is a 50% tussah silk and 50% merino laceweight yarn (1250 yards/100g). Comparable to Lorna’s Laces Helen’s Lace or Jaggerspun Zephyr. There are six colours at three bags full: Viola, Summer Skin, Orchid… plus three new colours — Cassis, Moss and November Rain.
I just finished and blocked my Sivia Harding Diamond Fantasy Shawl in this same yarn and will have photos soon… as soon as it lightens up in Vancouver. Then the shawl will go to three bags full too to serve as a store sample for a couple weeks. I think I’m getting caught up. Things are looking up.

Ab FAB babe! I am such a HUGE fan of your yarns. Love the new colours too and your positive nature. Thank you so much for doing what you do so well!
I’ll be at 3 bags full on knit nite - arm wrestling the gals for some of your yarn. Can’t wait to see it all in person.
Silk lamb lace…be still, my heart!
I nearly had a heart attack. PLEASE tell me you are going to do the lace weight as custom orders as you do the sock yarn!?!???!
Pretty new yarn!
Gorgeous colours!
Will these new colours be posted on your shop website and will they be available in your sock yarns?
I was working yesterday at Three Bags Full, and got to see the gorgeous yarns (I actually bought some of your roving on Sunday when I was there teaching a class, and have started spinning it already, wheee!) .. and the laceweight is truly lovely! You even had a couple fans come into the store just for your new yarn!
ooh that’s beautiful!
Oh, that yarn sounds so yummy,and the colors are gorgous, as always!! Are you taking special orders on it from those of us who don’t live near Three Bags Full?
Oh, that Silk Lace is gorgeous–I wish I was using it for the shawl I’m knitting right now!
That laceweight is soooo gorgeous! I add my voice to the many others requesting it be made available to those not living in the Vancouver area.
