As in Stash Enriching Expedition!!
I went to the Denver area last week for some qaulity time if my mom's second cousin Meredith. On the way up, I stopped at Denver's own Lamb Shoppe, the same place Mom and I had ventured to back in March. This time, however, I actually bought something! Two different skeins of gorgeous green yarn and a pair of size 6 US bamboo needles. I need a green scarf now, so I'm happy. ^_^
On Saturday, Meredith and I went to the Farmers' Market in Boulder, CO. I had heard very good things about the yarn store up there, Spindles, Shuttles, and Skeins, and after asking around for a bit, we found it! I do have an excellent sense of direction after all. All five skeins of yarn I purchased there were "orphans", as in some of the last in their dye lots or something like that. There were an entire two shelves, what we shall call the Orphanage, devoted to orphan yarn. I got some beautiful purple cotton yarn, and then a skein of Cotton Fleece in a gorgeous jade green.
Of course, as I write this, I am listening to a summer storm at the Hoffman's house and therefore can't show off my pictures just yet. Wait until tomorrow!!
coffee and cashmere,
