Local Yarn Shop

Just been for a visit to the local yarn shop which is actually 3 hours driving from where I live!
It was very well stocked with lots of interesting yarns and I managed to pick up some double pointed needles for my Salish wristwarmers.
Just got to cast them on now

This is the yarn that is on the way

Tibetan Yak Yarn

Tibetan yak yarn is coming soon!
This will be very exciting as it is from co operatives in Tibetan villages and is hand spun and very very soft
The main thing is the hand spinning, you can get machine spun yak yarn but this is a much better product
I can't wait for it to arrive

Previous Debbie Bliss shawl

This is a previous Debbie Bliss shawl that I have made
I use to knit for Designer Yarns which is the firm which is the UK distributor for Debbie and I once met her there which was quite thrilling
There are lots of designers out there, I find it difficult to have the patience to design but I can knit anything including entrelac now, thanks to another baby pattern shawl of Debbie's

Debbie Bliss baby shawl

This is the current project I am trying to finish before my uruguayan and Tibetan yarn arrives
It is a baby shawl designed by Debbie Bliss which I have knitted several times before in different colours
This is a lovely light beige

Hand warmers

This is a pair of hand Warner's that I knitted in my own hand dyed uruguayan yarn
They are beautifully soft and cozy!

New Wool n Love

This is the new blog for wool n love and coolyarnz
I have decided to try and obtain unusual yarns to sell
I have been selling uruguayan yarns for some time,but recently a client purchased all of my undyed single ply yarn, leaving me with only some lace undyed.
I have managed to find a wholesale supplier of hand dyed and kettle dyed uruguayan yarn and have placed my first order 
She says that it will be about 3 weeks til it arrives!
Also I am investigating Tibetan yak yarn which sounds fascinating, I can buy that from canada as there is a source in Alberta
I wonder how much interest there is for these yarns
