Shopping and Buying Local

While in Longmont Colorado visiting my niece's family, I got to visit a lovely yarn shop. If you are ever there take advantage of the friendly and helpful staff at the Longmont Yarn Shoppe. They were proud to show of the yarns of local dyers and they had tons, well not tons, of yarn but a lot. Both yarns I bought were dyed by local Colorado artisans.

I have a sock pattern I want to try so I was on the hunt for something to treat my feet to when the days get chilly. Believe it or not, Phoenix while setting heat records right now, can be chilly in January and February.

The light-colored yarn is from Roadtrip Sock Yarn and the colorway is Raton. This dyer has and etsy shop. Just search for the company name and you will find it. The shop is full of all kinds of yarny goodness.

The blue is the Oracle colorway from The Hummingbird Moon, and they also have an Etsy shop. When I checked it yesterday there was only one item in the shop. You can find out more about this seller by using the social links in the Etsy shop if you wish.

Take a look at the yarn I treated myself to in the picture below.


I have some other projects to finish before I start my socks, but I will certainly let you know right here on the blog when I start them and share my progress.

Back with more again soon. 
Take care and stay cozy!
