May I present, a yarn I do not need to fall too much in love with, at least living in NC. But I do love the Company that produces it! Any guesses??
Strawberry Patch Colorway
The first time I had ever laid my paws on a skein of this! It'll be like knitting with rope, but that's ok..it's from BS!
Sapphire, sniffing yarn just like me! ;) Well, only caught the label action LOL!
From So Much Yarn in Seattle. I found that place less than 1 hr after arrival. Only a few blocks from my hotel. I went around the store, gosh at least 6 or more times...this kept jumping out at me everytime I walked by. Nice store with a lot of good yarns, I left with this and 2 other skeins you saw in my cotton post below (the Candy yarn at the top of the yarncolander) ;)
Note to self...yeah, its fun to take yarny pictures outside, even in pollen filled magnolia tree (trashed those pics, they weren't good)..but geesh..don't wipe your eyes....and do not go outside during pollen season unless you HAVE to!! 'nuff said...*stumbles to find eye drops and sinus meds!) No animals were injured in this post, just the photographer! ;)

Wow! The mucus-tear filled sacrafices you make in the name of good yarn porn! That's dedication!!!! :-)
I'm not a thick spun kinda girl, but I really like that!!!
Well, it would have to be from your favorite - Brown Sheep!!! The colors are gorgeous!! What is it going to become??
Hope the pollen leave you alone soon!!
Love the colorway! Can't wait to see what you make with it!
Somes yarns just seem cry out your name. Love the colours!
Yummy Yarn!
Oh goodness, Burly...hunky alaskan logging men...in thermal shirts and plaid flannels. Now that's a great picture in my mind. :) giggle
I have yet to get to So Much Yarn. The owner, Lauren, was the original owner of Lauren's Wild and Wooly in Polsbo, WA (a stop we make on our way to knitting retreat each year). Alas, she sold it, it is now called Wild and Wooly, and is not one of our favorite places to stop. The yarn is organized by COLOR not but gauge, weight, type, yada, yada. Sure...nice if you just want anything in a certain color, not nice when looking for the right weight.
On my list of things to do by summer: Visit So Much Yarn.
Have a great weekend and a great Spring Break off next week. I'll be thinking of you.
Beautiful! I love the colors and it looks so thick and squishy. Although you are right, I can't imagine wearing something made from it too much here in NC. I'll be interested to see what you decide to make
Have a great spring break!
great color, great yarn, love the Brown Sheep! I'll bet that would felt into a brick you could build a house with!
Pretty colors!
Guess where I am this weekend?
I used Burly Spun to make a kitty pi bed for one of the gatos. Yes, the kitty pi bed that they ignore.
Ah...sniffly spring is here again. Nice yarn.
Yummy, how very beautiful! I totally love the colours, and the yarn itself looks so cozy that I'd like to jump into it ;)
Ooo, looks like it'll be nice, fluffy and fun to knit with!
You really have an eye for yarn!
Ooh, more lovely yarn! Are you gonna make a felted something with it?
I'll also be hiding indoors once the alleries really hit, but for now it's still too cold here!
Hope you feel better soon.q
Sapphire is such a cutie and has very good taste in yarn.
