The PERFECT Acrylic Yarn

Notice I didn't say ACKrylic. Most of you know that I'm not a huge fan of the acrylic yarns out there. I've stocked Plymouth Encore for years but it has a little wool added to soften the plastICKY feel of the acrylic. Still, some knitters don't want even a small amount of wool in their yarn. I've been on the lookout for an acrylic that I could stock with pride. And I've found it. Boy....have I found it. It's softness rivals that of the most premium merino yarn. No kidding. I am in serious love with this yarn. Want to know what it is? Stop into the shop and I'll introduce you. Here's a pic of a baby onsie that I've begun knitting from this new mystery yarn.


Barbara Eagan (mom of channel 5's Chris Eagan) shared this photo of our Daytime Knitting Group which meets Wednesdays, 1-3 (or 5) pm.


It's a "photo of a photo" so the quality isn't so great. That's Barb in the green sweater.
Lastly, we have a new mascot at the shop who joins Reggie, the wonderYorkie. Meet Purl Bump, the goldfish.


I almost forgot to mention that Barb also sent in a blurb from the local paper that mentioned Lamb's Ear. We won't knitpick that they seemed to think we're located in Parkland (???). At least they got the actual address right.
