Yarn Crawl...


Last week I went on my own little yarn crawl... a short one anyway. As I posted earlier, I went to the new yarn shop in Kirkland, Serial Knitters and loved it. On my way home I did stop at another yarn shop I had never been to, the Cultured Pearl in Issaquah. It was a cute little shop in Gilman Village and I found lots of fun yarn I hadn't seen before. They had just received a new shipment of Malabrigo and I couldn't leave the shop without buying some. The new colors for fall are just gorgeous, as you can see from my picture above. I just love Malabrigo, it's so soft and nice to knit with (worsted anyway). I'm looking forward to knitting with the sock yarn since I haven't yet. I have a feeling it will be a real treat. I plan to make a hat with the worsted and a fun pair of socks (of course) with the other. If you haven't been to the Cultured Pearl check it out... you won't be disappointed.
