April 17, 2017
My mother would so love this. I recently had to admit her into an assisted living facility. She isn’t fond of it, and I think this would help to make her day. She is a “lady of fashion” and loves to be dressed each and every day as a true southern woman “should”. This makes me cry, it would be perfect for her. Even if I don’t win it. She will get one. Just in time for Mother’s Day
April 17, 2017
Have introduced my granddaughter to this yarn. We both love it!
April 17, 2017
