I can't say no to Malabrigo and I'm glad that I can finally purchase it from a local business. It is so soft and squishy and light. And hand dyed. I may be ordering some worsted for her soon. Like I said, I can't say no.

Two skeins of Malabrigo Sock  are for my mama. 1 in Turner (the yellowish purple) and one in Solis (the blue). I  got a sweater's worth of a canary yellow, Sauterne, to knit up the Featherweight Cardigan. It is pretty much the brightest yarn they had to offer. I realized after that I already have a canary yellow cardigan, but whatevs. Who can say no to canary yellow? Apparently not me. And to balance out my day-glo I also bought 4 skeins of Cotton Fleece in Copper Kettle to knit up a February Lady Sweater.

And, since we are talking about yarn and purchasing yarn, big shout out to Kimberly who owns the store. She's one of the nicer store owners I've ever met, particularly yarn stores. She opened this winter and has incredible stock, is always expanding, and takes customer requests. I particularly like that she has knowledge about each of her yarns, can suggest patterns and speak to how to alter patterns if need be, and each interaction with customers is filled with bits of knitting and yarn facts that prove her true interest into the craft.
