Pay attention here if you are a Shepherd’s Wool Fingering lover. We recently received news that some of the colors are being discontinued. There will still be plenty of colors available (I think 26?) so there is no need to panic, however… if you have a favorite colorway you may want to check out our remaining stock of discontinued colors. We still have several skeins of many of the colors, some not so much. I think I will have to snag a few myself!

sometimes things go missing – Shepherd’s Wool Fingering
I was just on ravelry updating my queue and wanted to upload my stash of Shepherd’s Wool fingering. Since I don’t have a digital camera at home, I thought I’d swipe the photos off of my website. Lo and behold, there were only 14 colors listed of the Shepherd’s Wool Fingering – woah! I know we have almost all the colors in stock so where the heck are they? I bet they came in at Retreat time and just before Susan went on vacation so not all of the “procedures” were followed but that’s okay, they’re there now . . . check it out. This yarn makes a great lace scarf — see the pic above of the scarf Susan knit out of the Lace Knitting learn to knit book (not the official title but too lazy to go look it up, I’ll link to it here. That book has some nice basic lace stitches to practice and it only takes one ball for the scarf.  Another good pattern for this yarn is Shirl’s Mittlets from Cabin Fever. A very versatile pattern that can use many weights of yarn. A nice little celtic cable on the back makes them interesting to knit. This is the pattern I’m adding to my queue for the lime yarn [ssshhhh! a Christmas present for Haley?] and red [for Tara to match her varsity jacket]. I figured maybe I can knit them in my boothes at Stitches Midwest [329/331, not 830 like the map shows] if its slow [please tell me I won't have time to knit!].Â
