December 28, 2000

The snow is falling, I've got a fridge full of leftovers, and the house overflows with unfinished projects.

In short, it's winter as usual.

The Odd Couple Returns

Completing our December focus on wool, I review Rowan's newest concoction: a 50/50 blend of cotton and merino wool. While the concept struck me as odd, Rowan carries it off admirably.

An Old Favorite Goes Online

In the online shopping department, I bring you an old favorite that just recently began offering online ordering. If you've ever perused the open warehouse shelves of Halcyon Yarn, you'll definitely want to check out their online store too.
