jodyweinmannknits is preparing for the Doodle Giftalong and she cannot resist the lure of these new kelbournewoolens Perennial skeins ❤️
And notice the incredible buttons back there!? That’s the woolandmud trunk show and IT IS AWESOME.

The buttons are only available in person, but you can shop for yarn and sign up for the knitalong in person or online at thelocalyarnstore.com 😎

Big Day!!! We are so happy to welcome kelbournewoolens to our shop!

We have a beautiful selection of Perennial, Scout, Cozy, and Erin. You’re going to want to touch and see them IRL!

Perennial is a blend of vibrantly dyed superwash merino wool, soft Suri alpaca, and Oeko-Tex certified nylon.

The wool in Scout is a cross between Corriedale and Merino, a DK weight, 2 ply heathered wool designed with classic knitting and crochet in mind.

Cozy is the perfect combination of softness, strength, and practicality, a light worsted weight yarn made with a dreamy blend of Fine Superwash Merino wool and sustainable Easy Wash® Alpaca.

Erin is an authentic bulky/Aran weight Irish heather made in Donegal, Ireland. It is a hearty blend of 60% fine Irish wool and 40% New Zealand wool.
