Yarnaceous Trunk Show Saturday, February 22nd!
11am - 5pm
We are also very excited that we have a trunk show with Yarnaceous Fibers on Saturday, February 22! Maggie is bringing a wide range of her hand-dyed yarn favorites. This includes her Salta Fingering sock yarn (a blend of 85% Merino and 15% Nylon) and her Doodle Mini Bar!
Doodles are card deck sized collections of patterns from Pacific Knit Co. that you can mix and match together to create personalized accessories or garments using colorwork knitting. Maggie has created a Doodle mini bar of her Bronto DK yarn, a scrumptiously soft blend of 85% Superwash Merino and 15% Nylon, to help you pick out colors specifically for your creations.

Maggie is also bringing her brand new non-superwash yarn in fingering, sport, DK, and worsted. These are the yarns that I am most excited about, especially since she is debuting two new bases, Winto Worsted and Flaca Fingering, at our store on Saturday!
The base of these yarns is Shaniko Wool. Shaniko Wool Company is a branded and certified program of American Merino wool. The wool comes from Merino and Merino/Rambouillet sheep raised in California, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon and Nevada. The sheep are specifically chosen for their consistently fine, long staple wool as well as their ability to thrive on the open pasture in range conditions while giving back to the land as they eat their way through harmful flora – helping the land to thrive.
The yarn is certified under the global Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), developed by Textile Exchange. RWS aims to improve the welfare of sheep and the land they graze on.
RWS also has stringent guidelines covering the humane treatment of sheep, full traceability of wool, and strict standards for worker welfare and careful land management practices that ensure the continued sustainability of the ranges where sheep are raised.
