Guys…..I fell in a yarn hole.
Sadly a yarn store in my region is closing! They were having a 30-60% close out sale and I took the bait. I didn’t NEED any of this yarn but I got a crazy good deal!
I picked up a sweater quantity of Berroco DK for a garment for me. I picked up a main color of grey and a contrast color of royal blue. Then I got three 150 gram skeins of sport weight sock yarn to make socks for the men in my life. I then got two DK gradient skein/kit. The rainbow is from Dove Roving Company and the blue gradient set is Rivulet from Island Yarns.
I know the Rivulet is going to grow up to specifically be an Age of Brass and Steam. All the rest went into my stash ☺️. I don’t know what they want to grow up to be!
Happy Knitting!!
Nothing wrong with building your stash. I did the same thing when our LYS went out of business.
Great choices. I particularly like the sweater color combo. I got a bit giddy just reading and looking at your treasures! I’m still on a yarn buying hiatus (self-imposed of course) and living vicariously through other bloggers!
Ooh so jealous! You chose very well!
Oh my gosh! I love Done Roving. It’s from my home state! I picked up a ball on my last visit home and I still can’t decide if I want a scarf or a sock head.
The colors are fantastic. I’m a little nervous because I have had their sock yarn fade on me before. I’ll be sure to do a Citric acid soak this time!
Thanks for the warning!
I am finally getting my stash built up again
Sorry you are losing the shop, but you got some good yarns there! And I have a special place in my heart for the Done Roving as they are quite near to me. 🙂
You can’t just walk on by and resist when you see a yarn shop closing down sale – it’s against the nature of knitters! What a shame to lose it – but lucky you – all those potential projects! Fab!
