I went to the trunk show at Lovelyarns on Sunday and had a blast. I came early, and Sue graciously allowed me to photograph the set-up. Hundreds of skeins of exquisite hand-dyed yarn were piled on tables in back of the shop and on the deck. Wine and hors d’oeuvres were served while people mingled and browsed. I talked with Lindsay Henricks of Storm Moon Knits and Terry Todesco of Crash into Ewe, who explained the intricacies of dyeing and painting yarn.

As always, the atmosphere at Lovelyarns was warm and cheerful, and I’m so glad I went. I could go on and on, but the bundle of bright blue curly mohair I bought is calling my name.
