It's a Wrap Party and Trunk Show

Not only did we have delicious wraps to eat (thanks, Bonnie!) and beautiful wraps to adorn (thanks, Jill!), but we had luscious yarn to fondle, adore and buy.


Darcy from Angel's Kiss Yarn brought a fine assortment of her 60% alpaca/40% merino worsted in an array of colors. This yarn makes you want to get your needles out and cast on for a sensory experience of touch and color. Darcy's graciousness compliments the yarn. She also brought some bulky and a sampling of her lace weight, which they are spinning at her small mill in Wisconsin. The worsted and bulky blends are being created at Kraemer Mills in PA. Darcy uses her own alpaca and alpaca from other sources, including MD farms.

We had a good time trying wraps on different body types and experimenting with different ways to wear them. Pictured here are Darcy and Bonnie wearing Seven-8ths, a pattern Y2Knit published in 2009. Not only is it fun to knit, but it's great for all body types. Turns out this is a good color too as it looks great on both women.

Below, Nancy models the Ogee Shawl, a lacy circle that can be draped and wrapped a number of ways. Another model shows it as a neck piece.
