New Yarns at The Yarn Bard!

Hello all! Allyson here to tell you all about some new yarns that we have in the shop!







These yarns are called Revel, a fingering weight yarn. They are made of 85% baby alpaca and 15% merino wool. One ball is 50g and 275 yards. As you can see, they are very colorful and some balls even have colors hidden inside! They won't appear until you've used them! They knit and/or crochet wonderfully!





Next we have Gina, which is a worsted weight yarn. It's made of 100% wool and one ball is 50g or 109 yds. Just like the Revel, as you can see, these are very colorful and also have colors hidden in the center that reveal themselves as you knit or crochet it!
Next we have Kid Seta, on the left. It's made from 70% Super Kid Mohair and 30% Seta - Silk. One ball is 25g or 230yds. This yarn comes in many bright colors, like red, purple, blue, teal, green and a few others. 
Last is the Toria, on the right. It's made from 80% Kid Mohair and 20% Nylon. One ball is 25g or 229 yds. As you can see, this is very colorful as well.  We have a few variations in the colors and all of them are beautiful. 

Well, that's it for now! We will be updating our yarns as soon as we get some new ones!

Hello all!
My name is Allyson and I've just recently started working here at the Yarn Bard. I can't knit to save my life, but I have been crocheting for 8 years, so if anyone has any questions about crocheting, come on it and ask me! I'm here Tues. and Sat. mornings, and Fri. afternoons. I'll be having a few classes coming up, not sure on what they will be yet. If anyone would like to have a class on a project or a technique, just let me know! I'm completely open to any suggestions. :]
