I heard via Danielle’s<\/a> blog that ArtFibers<\/a> in San Francisco had put one of their yarns – Chaucer<\/a> – on Sale. So I decided to take advantage of the low dollar and order some yarn for a fluffy angora scarf! Of course after looking at the yarn goodies on the site I opted for yarn which wasn’t on sale! <\/p>\n

I’ve ordered two balls of Oz<\/a> in Harvest and a ball of Cartier<\/a> in Camelot to be combined with two balls of Nemo<\/a> in a co-ordinating colour to make a scarf. I’ve asked them to pick out a co-ordinating colour in either reddish shades or green. I couldn’t tell clearly from the pictures on the website which would co-ordinate best.<\/p>\n

I’m also hoping to have a bit of Gypsy to try – they offer a 5 yard sample service but only in the USA. I think they should be able to just pop it in my order though. I like the idea of a sweater in it but wonder how well it would wear. I visit the shop during our annual pilgrimages… sorry…holidays to San Francisco and always buy a sweaters worth of yarn! They sell some amazing yarns which aren’t available elsewhere. Some think they’re expensive but I really like the unusualness of their yarns.<\/p>\n
