The colors in the catalog and on my computer screen do not do justice to the real thing. The colors are beautiful. I can't decide which ones I'll buy but buy I wil.; ▶ Reply to This

I just supposed the new colors for the other yarns weren't ready yet. Just guessing.; ▶ Reply to This

I also just saw the new "samplers" and am very excited about that too.

Why would anyone shop for yarn any where else?; ▶ Reply to This

It would be great if the window stayed open so you could compare several colors and/or yarn types/weights. It would probably take extra time and server space so I can understand why you might not want to do that but I for one would appreciate it!
By the way, I love the home page photo with the "greens" on dishes!; ▶ Reply to This

I can't really afford to buy all three kits (I have already ordered one, though), but I'm very interested in some of the patterns for the kits I didn't buy. Will those patterns be available for sale at some time? I'm especially interested in the cup/mug cozies and the fingerless mittens/gloves/wristwarmers. Any chance?; ▶ Reply to This

I love the idea of the patterns for the cute little projects, and trying out the new yarns at the same time. My favorite is the CotLin, I like the feel of it and the drape. So I'm starting out with the wristwarmers; I may have to make a sweater out of the Kohlrabi color!; ▶ Reply to This
