What’s one of your favorite fingering weight yarns? Or is it too hard to pick??
~Sheri and the Loopy Elves
Wollmeise Twin!!!! My first Loopy yarn and still my favorite!
I love your inspiration blogs! I end up with a list of patterns I want to try every time. This time the Elowen Shawl really got my fingers itching. My friends and I come to Colorado every June from AZ for the Estes Park Wool Festival, but the first place we hit from from the airport Is Loopy Ewe…sets up the tone for the entire the week for us! We learned a few years ago that we need to come in with a plan for at least one project and get the yarn from you(plus a heck of a lot more stuff) and that is our week’s project on our Colorado Holiday…the Elowen Shawl will be mine this year. Thanks!
Oh and one of my favorite yarns is Socks that Rock.
