Traveling Yarn



This yarn went to Canada and came back as a Mobius scarf. Does this make it a Canadian product? It might but I will leave that to the experts. It was started in Canada, the only things done in the USA were blocking and clipping ends. The yarn is Galway worsted weight wool and the pattern is Scottish Wave Scarf out of 'A Treasury of Magical Knitting' by Cat Bordhi. This is the second one I have made.

Now for the Idaho yarn stores I browsed before returning home. My co-conspirator was my Mother. I wasn't the only one who damaged her checkbook.

The first one was 'The Needle Nook' in Moscow, Idaho. It was visited on the way to lunch with my Mother-in-law. Not all of the damage is pictured. And the damage was One Basket Weave Scarf kit which has 3 skeins of Softwist in a deep purple, 2 skeins of Tofutsies (only one made it home), One skein of 'Top of the Hill Alpacas (local from Viola, Idaho) and one Skein of Jitterbug. Just a note it is under new ownership and has moved since I was in college.

The second one was 'Harmony Yarn Studio' in Couer'd Alene. We slipped out to pick up some jump rings and adjust the itinerary once we hopped into the pickup. Again, not all of the pocket book damage is shown. The purchases were Ranco Multi by Araucania, 4 skeins of Shibuiknits (the two pink skeins didn't make it home) and one skein of Merino Oro.
