Gifted to us ~ Ancient Arts Handpainted Yarn!

My son gifted us some Ancient Arts yarn! 






This yarn is new to us, but we are very much looking forward to try these beauties (hugs) on our feet.  The Yarn is 100% Superwash Bluefaced Leicester Wool, 4 ply fingering/sock.  The first 3 colourways that MrB has cranked out are pictured above and the label photo too showing the three colours of Abalone, Scottish Mist and Cranberry Harvest. The label says, nature.inspiration.glorious colours! Yes "Colours" is spelled with a "U", one indication that this company may be in Canada.  I am not positive, but I think it may be based in British Columbia. If you want to read more about Ancient Arts Yarn go to:

We will have another selection of this yarn to post at a later date, the colourway being from the Meow Category, so watch for another Ancient Arts Yarn update down the road.

 

Yarn from Grand Valley Fibre Company, Ontario

Samples of a couple yarns colourway selections produced exclusively by Grand Valley Fibre Company, AVID (Spectacular Yarn From Spectacular Fibre) 50% Alpaca, 30% Merino, 20% Nylon, 3ply sock weight.  A pair for him, MrB and a pair for me!  Going to give them a good wearing test run soon. Special treat for our own feet!
