I went to the sale, and look what happened…

Tapestry Craft is having a 25th birthday sale (25-50% off), so last Saturday I took a trip there and of course there was some Stash Enhancement! 🙂 Here’s what I got:

6 balls of Cleckheaton Merino Bambino in pink. I bought this with the bow tied bolero from Debbie Bliss Special Knits in mind, but I’m still thinking of other possibilities.

This is a 4 ply (fingering weight) yarn, which I don’t usually use. The balls are very light, only 25g (

These are Heirloom 8-ply Cotton in purple, mauve, cream, and fuchsia. I’m planning to make a striped summer top for Annette with this. Or maybe a summer dress, if the yarn is enough for that. I’ll probably do a top-down raglan with cap sleeves. That way I can just stop when I almost run out of yarn.

And then I got some more of the Filatura Di Crosa Zara merino in light blue, because I just love this yarn. It’s very nice and soft, and knits up beautifully.

Then there’s this:

Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed

Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed in Beach and Tartan. I’m thinking of a hat for me with these, no pattern in mind yet. Actually the tartan one I bought from The Wool Shack, by looking at the colour card on the website. I thought it looked dark grey, and that’s why I bought it. Turned out it’s dark green (like army green) with white and red flecks. Well duh, I should’ve known, it’s tartan! What was I thinking?? But well, it’s growing on me, and it would probably be quite nice as a hat.

And finally, there’s this:

Katia Cotton Club

Katia Cotton Club in natural and light blue. I’m thinking of making small tote bags with these. I chose this yarn for this purpose because it’s 100% cotton and hopefully easy to wash, it looks solid and durable, and it’s soft!

Your yarns look very nice too, Donna! 🙂 I rarely get a chance to go to city to the yarn shop, so whenever I get the chance I like to make the most of it 😉 The sale is just too good to miss..

What a stash form the sale. I got to web-shop so I’m happy, but there was not as much yummy stuff available on-line as what you’ve got there! Yup, I’m jealous! Can’t wait to see what you knit with all that. BTW that is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!, the poncho and the model. Cuteness plus.
