More Cotton Yarn

Before the end of July I made it to French Creek Fiber Arts one last time before it closed. I will have to go further for good yarn now. It will be missed.
I picked up some more (yes, I know) cotton yarn.
Hey I like cotton....haha.
Here's what I got:I have no idea what to do with it yet, probably some bathroom washcloths since it is really soft.

Inca Alpaca Yarn

Bought some yarn for a scarf for my daughter when I dropped her off at work. Can't remember if I mentioned it before but she is working at French Creek Fiber Arts a couple days a week. So that gives me an excuse to go more often. :)

I decided that since she doesn't have any interest in crocheting like I do, and being around ALL THAT YARN that she should have something made from the yarn there. So this will be made into a scarf. She picked out the color.

This will be my first project using alpaca. It is very soft and I hope she likes it.

More Yarn

Bought some more Knit One, Crochet Too cotton yarn from French Creek Fiber Arts. The colors are English Heather and Artichoke.Of course for two more dishtowels. Alternating the edge colors.

New Yarn

I have been checking out French Creek Fiber Arts for some time now. I went online to get the address, phone number and directions. I saw and joined the Ravelry group for the store. But I had yet to GET there.

I decided today with my husbands help: "well you aren't DOING anything during the day, so you should go then".

And I was promising myself all the way there I was just going to LOOK and FEEL things.

Once I got through all the construction, seeing the sign for the store and having to travel down the road and turn around and go through the construction traffic again, I decided that I was probably going to purchase something.

And I did.I got two skeins of 2nd Time Cotton in the colorway Valencia:


The tag says: "2nd Time Cotton is created from new textile waste originating in the apparel and textile industry. Our 8-ply yarn is spun from this recycled cotton contributing to the conservation and global re-utilization of products."

I really like the spring/summer color and that it is recycled from other products and that it is made in the USA.

I met the official greeter: Bordi (sp?) A very friendly black kitty. (I think he was jealous that I was petting the yarns and not him!)

And before I left she also wound both skeins into balls for me. Very Cool! I will definitely be visiting again!
