Big Lakes

Check out these big beautiful skeins from Lakes Yarn and Fibers!

One of the perks of having dyers visit with trunk shows and samples is that they often leave fabulous things for us to pass on to you! Each one of these limited edition skeins is 620 whopping yards of worsted weight wool for $44. Just two of these will make a pretty good-sized sweater.

I'm pretty much in love with all of these colors. It's going to be hard to choose my favorite. Which one do you love best?

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!

Brioche Eye Candy

I know a few of you have been taken in by the lovely Knospee hat in the shop. Worked up with two colors of the AMAZING Lakes Yarn & Fiber Lochsa DK, this one is a winner. If you have never tried the delicious brioche stitch, this sweet hat might be a good place to begin!

Eye Candy Monday

This yarn. This pattern. Perfection.

Still Yarn Crawling!

 

Today we are so excited to see our table COVERED in gorgeous yarn from Ami of Lakes Yarn and Fiber. She has been working hard to bring us all of this incredible yarn.

Yesterday we saw Brooke of Sincere Sheep and her beautiful colors, and she restocked our dwindling supply of her fabulous wares. Thank you Brooke!

Kate from Ruby Peak Farms will be here this afternoon. Keep an eye on our Instagram page to see pictures!

The Rose City Yarn Crawl Begins!

The RCYC is in full swing starting today, Thursday March 3 at 10AM. Shops all over Portland will be participating with free patterns, door prizes, raffles, and all kinds of special events.
 
We are thrilled to host local designer Lisa Carney-Fenton who is showcasing many of her beautiful designs today. Stop in and say hello!

We are hoping to see Brooke Sinnes, founder and master dyer at Sincere Sheep, at any moment. She will be visiting from Napa with an inspiring spread of her naturally-dyed yarn.

And come back Friday to see Ami Volz of Lakes Yarn and Fiber. Holy cow, her stuff is stunning. Sally used her gorgeous Lochsa DK to design our shop knitting pattern, the Doug Fir Cowl, free with the purchase of the yarn during the crawl.

We will also get to meet Kate from Ruby Peak Farms in Lostine, Oregon. Her wool has never left Oregon! The ranch is located in eastern Oregon near Joseph, and the wool is processed in Salem before it makes its way to our little shop in Portland.

Come in Thursday. Come in Friday. Just come and say hi and join in the festivities!
