Be Still My Heart

These sweet bouquets of Lochsa DK from Lakes Yarn and Fiber are making my heart pitter patter. We have a fresh batch in the shop right now, and I love playing with the gorgeous color combinations. Every time I look at this yarn, I want to cast on immediately. This cool Siksak Hat is calling to me.
The stitch definition of this yarn is amazing, making it ideal for cabled or textured patterns, too. The FreshMint hat looks really fun and warm, and it's knit with just one skein.
Lakes Yarn and Fiber is a small operation based in Northern Idaho, and Ami dyes all of her yarn in her kitchen sink. We love supporting small businesses in our little shop! Come by and take a look at the gorgeous Lochsa DK from Lakes. I hope you'll be inspired, too!

  2. Leah - I will comment more often! I always mean to, but wasn't sure if anyone was reading the ones I did comment on - LOL! I actually have your site in my bookmarks! And hope to order soon! My most favorite yarn shop closed last Fall - I doubt I'll ever get over it being gone. There are some others around here - but none like that one!
