A perfect shopping day…

By
March 8, 2012

Good morning sweet people around the globe,

Two days ago I received a phone call from my favorite yarn shop…The lovely lady there told me with her innocent voice: “We’ve got some new yarn with beautiful colors if you want to see ..come take a look” and you imagine my reaction…New yarn? mmmh….do I need new yarn? Didn’t I have enough? Should I go there? etc etc…but I couldn’t resist the temptation….I will go…I said to myself…I will go and I will only take a look…a smell and a touch πŸ˜€ and I WILL NOT BUY ANY!!

Hehe what a lie! Me …entering a yarn shop and leaving without any bag in my hands…hehe

So, as you guessed, I brought back home some new yarn…and I could’nt wait to show you….

First, I’ve got 10 Mirage yarn…

Mirage is a lovely 100% acrylic yarn thinner than the Nako Vizon one…It is worked with a 3mm crochet hook but I love its softness…a pure pleasure to work with…

and the colors are beautiful, don’t you think?

Then I’ve brought back also two “Nako Lollipop”

I don’t know why I bought them …I don’t usually love to work with a mixed-colored yarn (I can not find the name of that kind of yarn…sorry…) but I loved the colors and I said why not?…I can’t wait to try them…

and…to save the best for the last…

Something new in the Nako family…something called: Superlambs special …with stunning colors…I couldn’t resist…When I saw them I fall totally in love with their color choice…

They are a mixture 50%wool 50%acrylic worked with a 5mm crochet hook…

and I can tell you something …believe me or not…the colors are much more beautiful “live” than in the pics…

Bold but not too bright…just my kind of colors…

And I can not resist starting something with them…even though I have two wips on the go….could I resist? I don’t think so…

Have a colorful day my friend

and see you very soon πŸ˜‰

P.S: Thank you so much for your marvellous response concerning Miss T. the turtle, I am more than happy that you loved her that much πŸ™‚ THANK YOU!

    j’ADORE LES COULEURS !
    C’est vrai, que comme toi, je ne sais pas trop quoi faire avec les pelotes “multicolores”, je les trouve plus jolies en pelote que tricotΓ©e, mais tu vas surement nous trouver quelque chose de sympa Γ  faire avec !!

    bisous
    Betty

    Tes laines sont absolument superbes (comme tout ce que tu en fais d’ailleurs). J’adore toutes ces couleurs vives et “vitaminΓ©es”. Oserais-je te demander quelle est la marque de tes laines, et oΓΉ tu les achΓ¨tes ?
    Bonne journΓ©e !

    Have a blessed day

    Hi there

    Thanks for you beautiful photos today. I was wondering if you could tell us your yarn shop so we could perhaps do a little shopping ourselves? Try as I might I cannot find a way to buy Nako online, and I just love the colours – particularly the Superlambs
    Cheers

    Hi Angie! Wonderful yarn you have brought to your home! I love all that lovely colours! I guess, I would have bought all that too! πŸ™‚
    I canΒ΄t wait to see what you will do with it!
    If I would not have to drive 30mins to the next yarn shop, I would go there immediately buying some new yarn for me too! But I have to do lots of baking today, tomorrow is my husbands birthday and there is so much to prepare!
    Wish you lots of fun with your new yarn! xxxBarbina

    The colors are bright and beautiful. I have already surrendered myself to yarn. He he.

  17. Lauren

    Variegated yarn….lol

    LOVE LOVE LOVE your posts. I wish Ilived near your Yarn Shop!

  18. Brenda

    Ahhh…they look so very nice! I need to check online to see if I can purchase some there. I can’t wait to see what you create with them.

    And someone probably already told you the multi colored is variegated. I have a few that I like to work with for hats, etc.

  19. Julia T

    I LOVE that Lollipop yarn! πŸ˜‰ also the bright Nako colors look so pretty and inviting! You’ll have fun working with them, I am sure. Enjoy!

      Thank you for the link! It seems to Europe they do not send parcels.

  20. Victoria

    Oh, that’s funny! You are an addict!

  21. lynne

    Great yarn colors! I would have done the same thing. Once you’re in the store looking and touching yarn there is no turning back. Have fun with your new projects! Lynne xx

    Only one word:
    WOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

  23. Shara

    Beautiful colors! I’m always sad that we don’t have a local yarn shop, but I try to be thankful for the chain stores we have that do carry yarn.

    Can’t wait to see what you make.

  24. Darlene

    Thank you for sharing your yarn shop visit; such nice colors, such a variety, and best of all, I feel like I just got to tour the shop myself!! Wonderful having the internet to connect us all, huh? Can’t wait to see what you come up with in new projects. ( I currently have 3 going right now, so no more visits to the shop until I get some completed items. I have no room to store more yarn yet!) Have a good weekend

  25. Laura :)

    Hehe!!! We fellow yarn lovers get it!!! We know full well that we never go to “just look”!!!! πŸ™‚

    Nobody could have resisted those luscious colors!!! I cant’ wait to see what you create!! You always do such lovely things!!! πŸ™‚

  26. LuAnn

    I love seeing all of your lovely yarn purchases. I have always called the multi colored yarn variegated. I enjoy working with it…well really all yarn is wonderful.

  27. Jean in NH

    SO SO SO Pretty! And the varigated Lolipop yarn – I wish I had a couple of skeins right here in front of me! It’s perfect for hats!

  28. heather

    Those are all gorgeous and well-worth the shopping when you didn’t mean to! πŸ™‚ Can’t wait to see what you make with the variegated. I always love that type of yarn but never seem to know what to do with it to make it pretty!

  29. Claire

    Such a happy assortment of colours- it is no surprise you walked out of the shop with that yarn :)That variegated Lollipop is perfect for baby items πŸ™‚ Thanks for sharing !

  30. janie

    the Nako 50/50 sounds sweet!! Be sure to show what you make with it. Me…I’m a hat and scarf junkie πŸ™‚

    The colors are wonderful. I can’t wait to see what you make with it.

  32. Soleil

    Dear Angie! Have you ever thought about opening an on-line NAKO yarn shop? I think many of your readers (including me!) would be happy… Sorry for such a brazen idea…
    Kisses ☼ Olga

    Nice!! I also Β΄sinnedΒ΄ and bought loads of yarn today. Mercirized cotton… I am thinking… summerblanket πŸ™‚ I am with you on ‘mixed’ coloured balls of yarn, but I recently found some that are just fun! Can’t wait to see what you’re gonna make πŸ™‚
    Esther.
