Eye Candy Friday
We’ve got some beautiful new yarns to show you!
Orenberg Lace from Cherry Tree Hill
Cobwebs from Great Adirondack
These are both beautiful fine lace weights. The Orenberg is a Kidd Mohair/Silk blend with amazing dyes and a glimmering sheen. The Cobwebs is a super soft Alpaca/Silk blend of laceweight dyed by the color geniuses at Great Adirondack. You think its nice here? Come in a touch it. Alpaca + Silk = Heaven!
