Fiber Friday: Stash Enhancement!

Like most knitters, and crocheters, I need more yarn like I need a hole in my head but I can’t seem to resist all those beautiful colors of fiber parading across my screen.  A girl must do what a girl must do, and this girl simply had to purchase a few new skeins for the stash!

I’ve added a few skeins of yarn from my dear friend Maya’s shop, Springtree Road, which includes two skeins of worsted weight in Philomath in Atia, along with one skein of Muscadine in Antiqued Rose and one skein of Julep in Ridge.  Maya just loaded her shop with two new lines of yarns this week, Julep Twist and Jessamine Lace, beautiful colors in both new lines!

Worsted Weight Yarn – Atia

Muscadine -  Antiqued Rose

Julep – Ridge

I was very excited to hit Katie Franceschi wonderful “store stash busting sale” online at her Etsy Shop, Yarn Love , and snagged a skein of Cashmere Blend Fingering weight (80% superwash merino wool, 10% cashmere and 10% nylon)  in the colorway Mulled Wine and a skein of Diana (100% superwash merino wool) in the colorway Banana Split. You can purchase Katie’s gorgeous yarn online at Yarn Love.

Diana – Banana Split

I’m very pleased with my latest stash enhancement and can’t wait to find just the right socks patterns for my fingering weight.  As far as the worsted weight, well, I’m thinking about a new scarf design ~ I’ll keep you posted!

Until next time, happy knitting, crocheting, spinning, weaving and crafting!

  1. I am the same way! I feel compelled to add to my stash often, much to the chagrin of my hubby. :) You made some beautiful choices! I’m having a bit of yarn envy. :)

  2. That banana split one looks cool. They all look great!

  3. I’m trying so hard to contain myself from buying yarn.
    These purchases looks great. I’m sure you’ll make some beautiful things with them!

    • Liesl this has been the first major purchase of yarn for me in over 8 months, or maybe even longer. I’ve been really trying to work my stash but I could not resist these beautiful colors :)
