One of my latest acquisitions is 2 skeins of the new Spud & Chloe Fine, which is sort of like sock yarn but is an 80/20 blend of wool/silk, so to me seems destined for shawldom. The color palette in all their yarns is quite beautiful, full of bright clear colors that would make great kid’s items . . . but for my taste the color palette is a bit boring. I wish there were more “off” colors, and if the people at the LYS are right, more colors are coming in shortly. I can’t wait to see them!
The yarn itself is quite nice, I started swatching with it already and it’s got a great hand and incredible stitch definition. I think this one’s going to be a quick favorite!
I took Thursday & Friday off last week so I could hang with my sister and dad who were in town . . . after they’d both left on Friday I took the opportunity to go back to my old store, String! I pretty much never get to go there because it’s in a neighborhood I’m almost never in, so it was nice to be able to make a dedicated trip to the East Side to catch up a bit and check out the new yarns. Of course I couldn’t leave empty-handed now, could I??
