Love this!

So by now you’ve seen our beautiful Great Tennessee Yarn Tour mini colorway by Copper Corgi - Butterfly W**d in both Savannah Sock and Savannah Sock Glitzy. And you’ve seen Alfred our Suri Alpaca in the stunning Tennessee Wildflower Cowl designed by Helen Horton and knit for us by Linda Sealey. Now Alfred called in his big brother Alfonzo to model the Ringing Rocks Cowl designed by Jennifer Lovett and crocheted (Tunisian) for us by Diane Wilcox in our Glitzy Mini skeins from Copper Corgi! It is certainly a work of art! Come see us Monday - Saturday from 9:00 - 5:00 and Sunday 10:30 - 4:00 and see both samples up close (and meet the Suri Alpaca brothers too)!
