I just placed an order with one of my mills and in that order I included quite a bit of 4 new yarns I’m going to try out in the shop.  This is high end luxury stuff here, folks.  Well, mostly, I am going to start carrying an 8/2 weaving cotton, that’s not luxury, but the other stuff – Let’s see, a merino/silk 50/50 blend in a lovely fingering weight, a 65/35 superwash merino/bamboo rayon blend in a light fingering weight (this will be perfect for socks for warmer climates) and finally a 100% Swiss silk laceweight that is to die for.  It’s soft and shiny and so strong.  It could be used for weaving or lace knitting, either way it will be lovely.

I’m excited about getting those in and getting some of it dyed up.  I’ve been exceptionally busy, while this class isn’t as hard as my last one, it’s a LOT of work, and it’s work I’m not very good or fast at, so it’s taking me forever.

I’m also slowly remodeling the shop, or rather reorganizing.  I don’t like the pictures of stitch markers I have up and I don’t like the way they’re organized, so I’m going to photograph new images, change the copy and introduce a lot of new colors.  When it’s all said and done I’ll ahve 41 different color combos just in the standard markers.  Should be fun and sparkly!
