I received this super nice skein from Ally of AllyB...that's Me! this week. Ally is responsible for leading me to Fiber Arts Friday, after we met and got to know each other in the pug group on Ravelry. This is a skein of her hand spun, corriedale plied with kid mohair and silk. I can't say enough how much I love this yarn, it's lofty and smooth, with just the right amount of irregularity. It will become something very nice to wear I'm sure.
Last week I had some time to kill while running errands around town, so I treated myself with a visit with one of the yarn shops in the area, Purlescence Yarns in Sunnyvale. I haven't been to this shop for couple of years, and they have moved since my last visit. Now they have a much larger store front, which is very well lit, and there is enough room to lay out all the spinning wheels and looms.

Today is my husband's birthday and our wedding anniversary. Never get tired of seeing our younger selves!
Happy Anniversary. I love the yarn AllyB sent you. She is a doll. Totally loving the shop photos. I am a sucker for a room full of wheels and looms. They would have had to kick me out of the shop so they could close if I visited.
ReplyDeleteIt must be Anniversary season! Happy Anniversary too!
ReplyDeleteThat yarn shop looks like a great hang out, wish we had one like that.
Ooh, that shop looks so fun! The yarn is also beautiful, and Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary! Did you get to celebrate with a new wheel? :)
ReplyDeleteLove Ally B's yarn - look forward to seeing what you make with it.
I hope you had a wonderful anniversary! I know you will knit that pretty yarn into something equally as wonderful, can't wait to see it. And that shop, WOW!

Wedding anniversary...birth day, boy I wish I'd thought of that. Great looking yarn from Ally B and what a fantastic looking shop.
ReplyDeleteHappy Fiber Arts Friday!!
Beautiful yarn! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! You were a good-looking couple then ... and I'm certain you still are.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your AllyB handspun - it's rather wonderful.
Happy Anniversary, the photo is splendid. I'm jealous that you're so close to that shop. I hear them talking about on Knitmore Girls podcast and it sounds like such a fun store. I'm so glad you like the yarn and I hope it lives up to your praise. Thank you
ReplyDeleteLovely wedding photo of you two!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! Over the years between the two of us we've lost some hair and the rest had turned gray; we've gained and lost some weight; other than that, we are still the same good looking couple :-)
