I was in Redlands the other day, and stopped by The Yarn Deli, as I'd never been there before and heard good things about it. Honestly, I only meant to get a skein or two of sock yarn, but they were so scrumptious that I came away with four.
It's a nice shop, small so it has a limited selection but of some very pretty stuff.
Pagewood Farm's Denali superwash merino/nylon in New Horizon. I couldn't quite get an accurate photo of the color — it's more purple than this, but with a hint of grey/black
Trekking Pro Natura wool and bamboo blend, in 1544, a pretty dusty-rose.
Chameleon Colorworks Bambino superwash merino/bamboo/nylon blend, in Viridian.
The lady in the shop offered to wind up the skeins for me, but I confessed that I like the feel of it in my hands. She laughed and said that she never came between a knitter and her wool.
Malabrigo superwash merino in Abril. I confess that this last is the one that is sitting in my lap as I write, this cold spring day, so that I can caress it and every so often brush it against my cheek and inhale deeply the lovely woolly scent….
