I’m not home, I’ve again escaped down to the Fort Collins-Loveland, Colorado area to crash yarn shops. And I’m doing quite well on that front.
At Lambspun, I made a killing on back issues of Vogue Knitting and Interweave Knits. (Stalking scarce copies of knitting magazines in the wild is the ultimate thrill.)
From there, it was a quick jaunt up the street to My Sister Knits to fondle luxury fibers and argue the merits of various fibers and yarns as sock yarn.
With that high under my belt, I went on the hunt to find the reclusive A Simple Piece of String, 15 miles off the closest paved road, to find rare Kromski walnut bobbins. I found A Simple Piece of String and 6 Kromski bobbins. Las is on cloud 9, as she didn’t realize it was possible for that many Kromski bobbins to be in one place at one time other than her own house.
On the saunter on the way back to base camp, an alpaca/merino farm that sells their own yarn and fiber. A expedition has been planned for first light tomorrow morning.
Sounds like fun! Enjoy!
