Mountain Colors

Exciting news for fall...we will be carrying Mountain Colors Yarns!  

Mountain Colors produces hand-dyed wool and wool blends for all sorts of fiber arts.  Their colors, both solids and multis, are deep, vibrant, and rich with great names inspired by the mountains of Montana where the company is based.  One of my very first knitting projects was a little felted bag using the beautiful Bitterroot Rainbow.  The name and the colorway have obviously stuck with me.  Check out their story; it seems like a company full of really nice people.

 
In September, we will be hosting an event with lots of Mountain Colors Yarn, a trunk show featuring many of their lovely designs, and some give aways.  Right now, we have a smattering of pretties to tempt you: Crazyfoot, a superwash sock yarn; River Twist (above) a beautiful 2-ply with a handspun feel; and Twizzle, a pretty merino silk blend that knits up with a heathered look (below).


I'll let you know when the trunk show is on the way.  In the meantime, check out this great little scarf Ann designed.  It's a free pattern when you buy just one skein of Ripple, the surprise star of our summer yarns.




I pretty much love it, and I will be making one.  Stay tuned for our next round of classes...Beginning & Beyond, Crocheted Hats, Learn to Knit Workshop.  What else would you like?
