Trunk Show Pics and Conway Locally Grown is Open

Last week we went to Theodore Jones for a trunk show. I snapped a few pictures, but they really didn't turn out so well. Must be the school room lighting.

The Market at Conway Locally Grown is back open. It's that time of year where the market officially opens every Sunday at 8:00 PM and stays open until Tuesday at 8:00 PM. Here are two new yarns listed for this week:

"Marble Spun" Fiber: Blue Faced Leicester, Merino Wool,and Tencel Blend. Handspun & Hand Painted Approx. 65 yards of Bulky Weight Yarn "Marble Spun" is a three ply handspun yarn with very soft shades of tan, white, purple, and a touch of green. The over all look appears to be marbled. One of the plies is tencel which give the yarn a hint of shine. Handspun yarn is very unique. There are parts that are slightly thicker and thinner, giving your end project an amazing quality. Three ply yarn balances itself out quite nicely. This originated from hand painted roving and was carefully spun and then plied. $28


OLD FASHION LOLLYPOP 100% Blue Faced Leicester Wool Handspun & Hand Painted Approx. 80 yards of Bulky Weight Yarn "Old Fashion Lollypop" is a three ply handspun yarn with classic colors of red, yellow, and blue. Handspun yarn is very unique. There are parts that are slightly thicker and thinner, giving your end project an amazing quality. Three ply yarn balances itself out quite nicely. This originated from hand painted roving and was carefully spun and then plied. $30

Remember, if you are in the area these yarns are available. The purchases need to be picked up on Friday late afternoon.
On a personal note, I want to say Happy Birthday to the man behind The Twisted Purl. If it wasn't for him, life would not be the same. Happy Birthday to my darling. ♥
