with 2 comments

This sock yarn represents a three-state yarn spree during which I demonstrated my support of local businesses. I like to call it “slow yarn,” an international movement opposing fast yarn and promoting shopping within an ecoregion. It’s going to catch on, trust me.

  2. I’ve suggested a “yarn crawl” to Beth in the past, but you are living it! Way to “get around” some slow yarn!

    I love that Schaeffer yarn! What’s it made of???
