This is the local indie dyer’s beautiful hand-dyed yarn I purchased on Local Yarn Store day at my local yarn shop. I think it’s just gorgeous, and the color is hard to capture in photos.

After a disastrous attempt at a different wrap (where stitches were dropped, patterns were… Continue reading Adventuresome Wrap
