Mushishi Big is a super soft, chunky yarn with a lot of oomph to it. Happiness is what I'd call it: squishy, smooth & luscious! We saw three FO's we really liked that are made with it; take a look!

Hello everyone. Today we're going to talk about some things happening in the yarn world.
In Iceland there are so many tourist buyjng Icelandic wool as they tour through, that they're on the brink of a shortage. The demand is so high that they are hiring more people to try to keep up, and still aren't keeping up for all their efforts.

If you remember we talked about our project sagas on Saturday. Here is a project that the knitting and crocheting world can be proud of. A whole group of Australians knit and crocheted a field of poppies for fallen soldiers that was then displayed at the Chelsea Flower Show. Watch the video of when the Queen visited here: https://au.news.yahoo.com/video/watch/31679427/garden-designers-show-of-prized-work-at-chelsea-flower-show/
Tell us what you think of things happening in the industry or a story you want to hear more about!!!
