Even though I have plenty of skeins of yarn awaiting their turn on the needles, it is very important, when traveling, to make local yarn store visits. Which is what led us to Knits and Knots in South Lake Tahoe this past weekend.
Where we discovered some lovely hand-dyed yard from a local artist. Who was also lovely by the way.
I have a Find Your Fade shawl monkey on my back. And it's not letting go. No matter how hard I try to shake it. I wanted a very unique yarn as a base to build my color scheme out from.
This shop, was a makers paradise. Full of unique hand made art of every type.
But it was the wall of hand dyed yarn that stopped Ann and I in our tracks.
Here is what I picked. I have a few things in my stash that will work perfectly with it. I have no idea how it is going to work in terms of striping or fading or what. I don't know how long the color changes are. And I am ok with that.
Boy am I ever looking forward to starting it. Thanks Heidi for the inspiration and sending me those photos of you modeling your Find Your Fade which is what started the whole thing.
If you haven't seen Heidi's "Love Letters to Crafting" you can click on them from her instagram feed. Be prepared to fall in love yourself.
