Twisted Loops

Last Saturday, Kelly, Melissa and I headed out for some yarn adventures.  Our first stop was at The Fold, in Marengo, IL.   While we were there, I picked up this lovely gray ball of Jade Sapphire Lacey Lamb.  It’s only about 825 yards of a very fine laceweight, and it has no associated project yet.  I’ll have to go diving into the pattern library to see how far I can stretch it.  I also purchased two skeins of sock yarn.  The first is Socks that Rock mediumweight in the Pebble Beach colorway.  The other skein is Trekking XXL in color 180.  I’ve not used the Trekking before, so I’m excited to try it out.

Here are photos of the two skeins I purchased last month while in Denver.  The first is the Merino-Tencel blend that I purchased from Skaska Designs.  The color is hard to capture in a photo.  It’s a beautiful brown/black color, with a lot of shine and highlights. 

When I returned from Denver last month, a local yarn store was having a 50% store closing sale.  When I got there, it turns out she’s decided not to close the shop after all, but was still honoring the sale.  I picked up this lovely Lane Borgosesia Merinos Sei in an olive color.  I also purchased two skeins of Lang JaWoll in a Gray Marl/Tweed.
