Fall Arrivals Have Begun

Our fall arrivals have begun to trickle in: new colors for lines we already carry, and some new yarns as well. This week we added our new Misti Alpaca yarns to the website. One of the perks of my job here is the opportunity to see and handle all the new yarns as we get them ready to go on the website. I've always been a fan of the Misti Alpaca Best of Nature line, but until now there hasn't been a colorway I just had to have. Enter the Best of Nature Worsted: 20131004_083555   This is #14 Shimmering Gunmetal. 20131004_083604   It's a lovely mix of grey and teal green. Two of my favorite colors and so soft. Irresistible! As usual, I don't know exactly what to knit with it yet, but two skeins have joined my stash. For now, I'll just pet them and enjoy the beautiful color. I think I may also need some of the Misti Alpaca Hand Paint Lace #41 Dark Chocolate, but I'll save that for another post.
