I'm in El Paso visiting Mom for Thanksgiving. Found this in El Paso's lone yarn shop, Sarita's Custom Sewing and Alterations. Sarita's started out as a drycleaners with a few balls of yarn and an interesting selection of needles. They have more yarn every time I visit. I also bought needles: some 4" Bryspun Bry-Flex DPNs, some metal Boye DPNs, and some 12" plastic Clover circs. There was full selection of Addis too, but I love really love Boyes. They are a fraction of the cost of Addis and have sharper points. I got some on sale at Hobby Lobby. More about that later. Sure wish we had Hobby Lobby in Virginia.Hope y'all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

ReplyDeleteI searched hobby lobby about a month ago and the closed one to us is in Danville, VA. Might as well be in California it's so far away. OH WELL!
Say hi to Mom for me.

what beautiful yarn! And the name - jingle berries is perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove the jingle berries colors! It's a great twist on the traditional Christmas colors. Very lively, bright, and happy! Great buy from that lone yarn shop!

Ohhh I love that yarn. I hope your enjoying your time with your Mom. Sounds like your patronage of the yarn store will help to make it a going concern.
ReplyDeleteAwesome colors! Love them! Yay for needles you can find and love working with! Hope you have a great visit! :)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, Hobby Lobby is nice--we JUST got one.
ReplyDeleteThe yarn is gorgeous!
gorgeous pictures! the yarn is beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that colorway- it's gorgeous. It's so festive for the season (although it's hard to go outside into the warm weather and feel like it's that time of year).
ReplyDeleteI have to try those needles- I love Addis, but they're too expensive for me to have a drawer full. :)
I absolutely love those rich colors. Hobby Lobby has great sales...their ads are online.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that pink/lavender mix of color!!! Whatever you make with it should be gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful yarn - and great photography! x
ReplyDeleteYou know- I'm starting to like boye needles a lot. They were my 1st needles & then i went CRAZY on bamboo & birch-I've inherited a whole bunch of boyes that I'm loving.
