Vortex is hot!

Merce Mitchell has been working on new yarns for the shop. She said she is “exploring some lovely united and interactive palettes, so mixing the colors will be nice for any project that requires two or more colors. And I will finally offer a DK yarn, as well as a 100-gram Worsted Weight in a superwash Merino. This has been a fun exploration,” she says, and looks forward to sharing soon! Catch her on Facebook.
