Yarn Country

Selecting and buying yarn is challenging - I probably need to take a yarn-for-dummies course. Even though it is not easy for a beginner, I have fun - there are so many possibilities and I have no idea what to expect.

My Saori loom can handle lots of different yarns with different textures and weights, so options are endless. I try to select based on fiber content, weight, color and price.

Jenny accompanied me all the way to Anaheim, California to visit Newton's Yarn Country recently while I was in Los Angeles.
Newton's was having a special on boucle yarn, so you will see lots of nubby fabric soon. She wasn't any help in selecting yarn, but she did take the great photos - thanks Jenny.
