Today was a *busy* day. I had to go into Philadelphia to drop off the husband’s entry for a homebrew competition so I figured I would take the train and walk around the city for the afternoon. After dropping off the homebrew, I went down to Spool. They have a bunch of super cute fabrics, but they’re pricier than I’m used to spending for a yard. So, I headed out to Fabric Row and found myself at the Pennsylvania Fabric Outlet. For less than $20, I picked up 6 buttons for a baby sweater, 12 zippers, and a little over 4 yards of fabric. The fabrics are reproductions of prints from the 1800s. TOO COOL.
There is also handspun. This is spun from superwash merino roving from dkknits and was my March fiber club delivery. It clocks in as a sport weight, 384 yards, and is destined to become legwarmers. The colorway is called, “Big Black Horse and a Cherry Tree,” after the song, and I think Becky 100% did it justice. It’s soft and squishy and super lofty and I’m just in love.
ZOMG those fabrics. ::makes grabby hands:: Take me there someday? Please?
