Housekeeping first: The Crochetville Swatch Party previously scheduled for this Sunday, July 13, has been canceled due to circumstances beyond our control. We also are postponing the Parking Lot Swap Meet until cooler, drier weather prevails.
Now for the famous ladies whose wares have come to Yarn Expressions as serious temptations for you all.
Those are none other than the long awaited, much anticipated Abby’s Batts! From top center, moving clockwise, we have Tea Rose, Dandelion, Aubergine, Hot Tomato, Melon Tweed, Daffodil and Sky Blue , with (l) Macadam Tweed and (r) Nightwoods. These batts vary in size from 30 to 54 grams and in price from $11 to $15. I have plans to get them up on the website (if they last long enough), but an e-mail or a phone call will get you one until then.

You might want to toss one of these in your basket too. They just arrived, and are in limited supply. Since it’s a calendar, the distributor says there’ll be no reprinting, so when they’re gone, they’re gone.

Meg,
Thank you so much for hosting spin night. I had a wonderful time. All those new fibers are beautiful.
Hi Meg,
Thanks for the comment. It took several swipes through the carder with the merino and angora. I think I ran the silk through a couple of times. It wasn’t that difficult with the drum carder. The hard part was getting it ready to card. Gee! Not the easiest stuff to handle.
Looking forward to Monday night.
