I didn't really but that much at Maryland Sheep and wool in hindsight. I'm still waiting on a very important check, before I can spend tons on yarn without feeling bad about it.
First and foremost, there was a TON of sock yarn, and while I like knitting socks I have more than enough really good yarn already stashed. I did buy a nice skein of Eidos from The Verdant Gryphon in the Pittaco colorway.
I was hoping to find nice DK/Worsted/Bulky yarns to round out what I had at home. There wasn't much I liked, so after walking the entire fairgrounds, we walked back to the Blue Moon Fiber arts to get the first yarn I saw; Mopsy. Someone I know winces every time I say there's angora in it, but that just makes me love it more :-)


While waiting for Maggie Sansone and Rover Dance, Mike (Julia's Husband) and I were digging through this really well curated antique/vintage booth and he handed me this bag of vintage glitter. We all know how much I love the stuff. I bought it right away and tucked it safely in my bag. That glass jar is amazing, right?
See? I didn't get much. I spent less than $100, can you stand it? I think there may be another skein of Mopsy coming my way in the very near future. I effing adore it.
What's your favorite yarn?

Jealous like Jello! Glad you made out like a bandit <3
ReplyDeleteOoo, I'm loving the vintage glitter! What a great find! ^_^
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm pretty sure The Verdant Gryphon is the best yarn brand I have ever heard of - I hope the wool is as great as the name! ^_^
I don't have a favorite yarn, but I am currently spinning my own, so I might like that...but I LOVE glitter and am so jealous of your find!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite yarn would definitely be any of my mom's stories about her childhood in Appalachia.
ReplyDeletei love me some blue moon! my fave fave fave yarn, though, is stone hedge fiber mill worsted weight yarn. it's so scrumptious and soft. i highly recommend it if you get a chance.
