I finally managed to make my way to a new LYS the other day called Three Bags Full.  What a warm friendly little store.  Look at what I bought!

The last of sweetgeorgia in colourway Momiji.  They still have a few skeins in about six colourways - hurry on down if you’ve been toying with treating yourself. 

I also bought some hard-to-come-by Koigu.  Francesca, one of the owners was telling me they have to actually send someone to Koigu to pick up and buy whatever stock they have on hand.  Luckily she has dedicated family within a few hours drive who have been willing to do just that.  I hear it can take a couple of years to receive backordered colourways.

Three Bags Full carries a carefully selected assortment of quality fibres such as Lorna’s Laces, Malagribo, Blue Sky Alpaca, Louet, Cascade, Rowan, Lanaknits Hemp, Noro, and Mission Falls.

I’ve been wanting to try the Louet Gems sport weight which they only carry from hand-painting artist, Trish Moon of Indigo Moon.  It’s a huge skein and I need solid colours, not hand-painted.  In order to help me decide if it will work for a design project I have in mind, Francesca searched in the back room and came up with these adorable mini sample skeins to try out (hmm, might have to take another photo since you can’t tell how small they really are).

As you can see, Three Bags Full has amazing customer service.  When I was there Francesca was helping another customer choose a lace project.  She spent quite some time showing her knitted samples and talking about the merits of both the Sivia Harding design and the yarn options.  After the customer made her choice, her skeins of yarn were wound into balls for her, free of charge.
