Yarn Stashing

A few posts back I said I don't have a yarn stash, and I had no plans to start a yarn stash.  I confess, my resolve has failed....  Let me introduce you to my new yarn:


 Knit Picks Shadow
100% Merino Wool
Lace Weight
Color: Forest Green Heather
Intended Project:  Rocio Cardigan


100% Merino Wool
Fingering Weight
Color: Pageantry Purple
Intended Project: Lafitte Shawl


Plymouth Yarn, Dreambaby
Acrylic Microfiber/Nylon (so soft, too!)
DK Weight
Color: 143 Green
Intended Project:

Tofutsies (toe-foot-sies)

Fingering Weight

Superwash Merino

As you can probably guess, I have been knitting this summer and not sewing.  Now that our home school is starting back up,my knitting time will be lessened: I'm sure this yarn will keep me occupied for some time.

  1. Very pretty! I have a somewhat accidental stash - but I haven't purchased yarn in ages. I'm looking forward to seeing your finished projects.

    1. Do you think you'll knit more now that winter is coming? I'm surprised at myself for knitting so much this summer.

      I have been trying to finish up projects before starting more, so hopefully I'll post pics soon.

  2. What a pretty stash you will have!! I have a couple pair of socks with the Tofutsies yarn. They are probably my favorites!

    1. My first pair of Tofutsies socks are also my favorite. I got excited when I found this blue yarn in the clearance bin and just has to buy it.
