A few weeks back I received a package from Mango Moon containing 2 skeins of Big Bang – one for me to review, and one for me to give to one of you! Woo Hoo!!
I was so happy with the color they sent me, it’s a lovely, vibrant blue. Here’s what Mango Moon says about Big Bang:

Look at what’s available at Premeir Yarns now and at A.C. Moore stores starting this weekend! Premier Sweet Rolls are awesome long stripe yarn cakes!! They are 100% Acrylic, so they wash great. I was lucky enough to get my hands on 2 cakes of these lovelies ahead of the release so I could share my thoughts with you. I made a complete scarf with just one cake.

At the TNNA trade show this summer I had the pleasure of seeing some of the newest yarns from Willow Yarns. They were all lovely, but Quiver was my favorite! Willow Yarns was kind enough to send me a couple skeins to try out and review for you. PLUS – they have given me a coupon code to share with you, you’ll find it at the end of this post.
I’m rather smitten with the newest yarn from Willow Yarns: Coastal. This is what Willow Yarns has to say about it:
[pullquote width=”700″ float=”center”]Crafted from the same butter-soft cotton as Willow Meadow, Willow Coastal brings new flare to your favorite cotton yarn. Colors move from one to the next, in colorways inspired by mountains, deserts, rivers, and forests, leaving you to relax and enjoy your stitching. Machine washable and soft on the hands, Coastal will easily become your first choice for sweaters, wraps, and scarves.[/pullquote]
They are right, it’s pretty awesome. I love the
Once upon a time, Jacqueline Pinson was a dyer at Stitch Café,a knit shop in CA with a studio/kitchen that held dyeing workshops and various other classes. Then in 2008, the shop was bought by Marcy Feldman who had vast knitting and crochet experience, and the perfect team was born!
This winter I visited Plymouth Yarn’s booth at TNNA and was lucky enough to go home with 2 skeins of one of their new yarns: Anne. When I was looking through the booth, Anne just really called to me. There was something about it that made me know it would be lovely in crochet. Plus, the variegated and solids pair up very nicely together.
Here are the Plymouth Yarn stats for Anne:
Today I have the honor of introducing you to another of our fabulous Yarn and Wine 2016 sponsors! Mountain Meadow Wool Mill is owned by Karen Hostetler in Buffalo Wyoming. She found herself surrounded by the culture of ranching and sheep, yet she had a hard time finding local yarn and fiber. This concerned her so she decided to do something about it, and Mountain Meadow Wool was born!
Have you heard of Bijou Basin Ranch? They are a small family owned and operated yak ranch in the Colorado outback, and they use those yak to create awesome yarn!
Nineteen years ago Diana McKay & Leslie Taylor had young children at home and wanted interesting jobs with very flexible hours; so they started hand dyeing beautiful high quality wools in their kitchens. They grew, moved into a dye studio, and hired a wonderful staff. They now carry 21 yarns in 60+ luscious colors that have been in inspired by the mountains, rivers and woodlands that surround them.
