YARN FOR SALE!
by Patti Moreno
I just got my yarn back from the mini mill. I was so excited. I've been waiting for it for 7 months to get back from the mini mill. It is just beautiful. The yarn is a combination of pygora fiber from year's worth of shaving my goats, , (click here to see me shaving them)tussah silk, and merino wool. I split the run into two separate lots. One is blended with 50% plum merino wool and the other is blended with 50% grey merino wool. The plum blended yarn looks more like a navy and the gray blended yarn looks more like a champagne color. I waited for so long that I'm at a loss for what I should make. I just purchased the French Girl Knits book where there are beautiful patterns. I'm officially a decent ragalan sweater maker and I love making one piece shrugs. I welcome suggestions on my message board. Please post any links to great pattern ideas and I'll keep you posted.

An urban area is characterized by higher population density and vast human features in comparison to areas surrounding it. Urban areas may be cities, towns or conurbations, but the term is not commonly extended to rural settlements such as villages and hamlets.
Sustainability, in a broad sense, is the capacity to endure. In ecology, the word describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. For humans it is the potential for long-term maintenance of wellbeing, which in turn depends on the wellbeing of the natural world and the responsible use of natural resources.
