Furter batt by Desert Garden three sisters to be listed at the shop tomorrow aaaand… snow in [...] So nearly immediately after putting this creature up for sale at the shop yesterday, I received a convo (that’s conversation for those of us with the time to speak four syllables) from a nice person, who basically was telling me that she liked the yarn a lot and wanted to know if it was enough [...] I’m really excited about these two skeins and kind of want to keep them all for myself. skein the first skein the second They are furry creatures and I want to put them in my pocket and pet them.
