The tweed looks really fun to work with. Its a little more navy and dark blue versus the “deep sea” green blue i expected. I am sure it will knit up nicely for the pandora pattern.

I adore CRICKET
Cricket has become one of my most favorite yarns ever. The colors, the texture, the fabric it makes. It’s fabulous for colorwork and especially for crochet!

I can’t say enough about what a beautiful, colorful, welcoming yarn spot Kelbourne is. Kate and Courtney have always been creative, clever, fun and kind. So is everyone who works with them. Beautiful yarn, fabulous space, great color choices and all of the kind help you’d ever need.
