Scarecrows have arrived...Meet Stanley Stitcher

Not really yarn shop related, but Scarecrow Festival is a huge deal in Cambria. This year, I participated in a workshop to build a scarecrow for my shop. With the help of Josie and Kara and Katie, we created Stanley Stitcher!


We used the leftover stitched strips that several of you donated for the tree wrapping celebration of 2022!


Stanley is a happy addition to the front of the shop and will be around until the end of October!

A Few New Favorite Yarns

Finally, some new yarn news! A few new favorites have arrived...


Slippers is a bulky weight 100% untreated wool yarn designed so you can create two identical, warm, comfortable and fashionable slippers from a single ball of yarn. The combination of single colors and multicolored stripes makes each pair of slippers unique and original.


Huasco Sock Twilight Paints is a super fine-weight yarn that combines 75% SuperWash Merino Wool with 25% Polyamide for a luxurious blend of softness and durability. Each skein is beautifully hand-dyed and perfect for shawls and lightweight sweaters.


Touch Me is the chenille of your dreams. It is soft, luxurious, and sturdy. Great for blankets, cowls, shawls, sweaters, hats, and gloves.

New Colors from Your Hand Dyed Favorites

New colors of Dream in Colors yarns: Smooshy Cashmere, Cosette, and Classy are now available!


I also re-stocked Willow Worsted, hand dyed by Round Mountain. I have tons of the Australian Shepard colorway that sold out quickly in my last shipment. And I added a few new colorways including California Condor and California Quail.



Check out the beautiful wall of Dream in Color in the shop!

Ideal Trunk Show in the Shop

I'm delighted to showcase a 6-piece collection featuring a combination of color, stripes, and playful details...all knit using the newest yarn from Manos del Uruguay, Ideal (pronounced ee-DAY-al). 


Named after the Uruguayan term for the Polwarth sheep, Ideal is a worsted weight yarn crafted from 100% Uruguayan Polwarth wool. This yarn is a 4-ply, worsted weight, non-superwash yarn that is sourced, spun, and hand-dyed in Uruguay.
