it might be easier to order from
Fairlight Fibers. They have the best price I’ve found in the US
for J&S.)

Otherwise, please keep your local yarn store in mind as you need
things in the coming weeks. If you don’t have a local yarn store,
mine has used the social isolation to go on line. Please consider
supporting my local yarn store, Ewe and You
Fiber Arts for Life, if your local yarn shop has closed while
we deal with covid-19.
Also, remember that the vendors from various cancelled festivals
will be feeling the pinch as well. Visit the website for a festival
you’re missing, hop over to the vendor list, and see if you can
find someone there selling what you need!
The giant craft stores should weather this storm fine, but the
little guys will especially need our support!
Music
Both songs this week are from Kennedy E. Morrison and Stephen
Rice. “You’re
Very Exceptionary“
“I
Can’t Help But Wonder“
