New and Fun Yarns have arrived from Plymouth Yarn for Spring in New Hampshire!

New and fun yarns have arrived from Plymouth Yarn for Spring in New Hampshire!

As everyone who lives here knows, Spring days and nights can go from 20 to 70 and then back down again in a few hours.   Hard to dress for the right temperature, but we love it!   It is an interesting mix to see some still wearing winter coats while others have taken out the shorts!   With this in mind, when we order yarn for Spring, it is difficult not to order alpaca and wools with the new cotton blends, so we ordered it all!  

Come and enjoy the selection in store and online of all the fabulous new colors and yarns from Plymouth which arrived just yesterday!   There is so much yarn, we may be unpacking boxes until Sunday, but all of the inventory is online and available for purchase!

New lines include Diversity Yarn - the new elastic sock yarn and Jeannee yarn - a worsted cotton acrylic blend that arrived in every color!   We also restocked Baby Alpaca Grande in lots of colors including lots of new ones!   Also in every color is Mushishi yarn and Gina yarn.   Superwash Merino and DK Superwash Merino yarn have arrived in lots of colors!

Lots more to see instore and online... Happy Spring!
