Variagated Yarns

I posted about Wool 'N Tart a few days ago. Of course, I just had to purchase some yarns! You can see my purchase below.

As I usually do surface embellishment on textile and felt, my eyes are always drawn to variegated yarns and threads. I will often unwind a ball of yarn and cut into its center. As a result, I do have lots of odd lengths of yarn to use in projects.

I just love the olive variegated bundle. Can't you just see some sea weed in that yarn! These three colours will be perfect for needle felting. I can't wait to get started.

Wool 'N Tart

Wolfville, Nova Scotia, has a unique yarn shop called Wool 'N Tart. It is part of the Farm Wool Shop. You can purchase yarn, get help with knitting, sit and knit as well as have a cup tea / coffee and dessert. On beautiful sunny days, there is seating outside under colourful patio umbrellas.

The shop features yarn and fibre from their own flock of Cotswold sheep as well as other yarns suitable for knitters, weavers, spinners and fibre artists. If you are ever in that part of Nova Scotia, pay them a visit. If you don't knit, then have some dessert and a cup of something!

Have a look!




Delicious Dessert!
