Welcome to the CDA Yarn and Fiber Blog
I promise to try to keep this fairly up-to-date, but it's just me, so who knows how this will go.
Just arrived in the shop, some Classic Elite -- Classic Silk in a bunch of great colors and Sprout, their new organically-grown bulky weight cotton. Sprout is a bumpy sort of thing that reminds me of Manos del Uruguay's cotton or Mission Falls 1824 Cotton. Speaking of Mission Falls, it still hasn't gotten here, but I have a call in to the company. This is what I do on Mondays when I am closed -- harangue yarn companies about my orders.
Next week I'm getting in some more yarns from Plymouth including (I hope) Baby Bunny which is a cotton-angora mix. I also got some patterns for that and for the Encore DK.
Also on order are more sock yarns, especially some inexpensive self patterning ones that people seem to love. I still have plenty of the On Your Toes bamboo sock yarn if anyone wants to try it. I haven't had a chance to use it, so I'll be interested in seeing the creations of other people.
Easter is just around the corner, and Ravelry has a few free patterns for felted baskets, and guess what? We have yarn for felting! Just beware, the actual pattern for the "knitted nest" is at someone's blog and it plays music, so that link is NSFW (not safe for work). There's also a pattern for a knitted egg, so everyone get crackin'!
