Seems I unknowingly had a color theme in mind when I ordered these new yarns!
Just in this week is the Mirasol RIT'I, which is a Lofty Baby Alpaca Tweed with Gentle Rustic Charm. It is an Alpaca, Wool, Cotton, Polyester blend 10ply yarn. I have my eye on it for a fluffy vest.
The hanked Araucania ESPIRAL is a Bulky/12ply Hand Painted Extrafine Merino 100% wool. Again, it would make a beautiful garment or hat, gloves, scarf.

Check out Liz's knits at Sheepvention in Hamilton.

People often ask where I purchase yarn and the answer is wherever I see yarn that I like but in reality my favourite places to buy wool is from small, family owned businesses in country towns.
Cast 'er On in Casterton is one of the shops I love to visit for their wide collection of yarns and fabrics and very special customer service.
Here is some of the yarn purchased there fairly recently and a couple of the beanies knitted from this yarn for the Made by Liz Sheepvention stall.
**** Made by Liz will be in a different shed at Sheepvention this year. Find us in the Entertainment Centre. The green shed attached to the Conference Center on the Sheep shed side, parallel to Shakespeare St. Come and say hello.
