Mark Twain once wrote that the coldest winter he ever spent was summer in San Francisco. A friend of mine maintains that the hottest summer she ever spent was winter in Arkansas.

Warm-Weather Wools - Part 2

What do these two climatically opposed places have in common? A love of Aurora 8 merino yarn.

Continuing last week's warm-weather wools theme, I review this popular merino, which came highly recommended by San Francisco's Atelier for Yarn and Little Rock's Handworks Gallery.

In other news, we give you a sneak peek at Zoe Mellor's newest collection of children's patterns, "Animal Knits."
