Ahhh. I love yarn shopping. My local yarn store (LYS) is a haven of creativity and community. The owner greets me by name, inquires how my last project turned out, and offers inspiration as she winds my skeins into the soft balls you see here.
The frothy vanilla yarn is a blend of wool and alpaca - barely processed and undyed - that will be a new, huge, blanket-like shawl for me. But first, my man requested a new hat as his old one shrank in the wash. He's patiently waited while I've prioritized other projects. Four years later, I'd say he deserves a new hat - hopefully before Winter's end. It's a superwash wool in "Shire" green. (I can never resist a Tolkein reference!) I deemed the superwash a good investment for my modern man who does his own laundry.
With all this Cascade yarn I've been using for projects past, present, and future, I wonder if I should buy stock. Or at least stock up....
