Before I dive back into book and resin related goodies I’ve got to show off the little bit of fiber touring I did while I was there.
The Brooklyn General Store doesn’t sound like a yarn shop, does it? I suppose because, strictly speaking, it isn’t. Nestled on a quiet street in a residential area of Brooklyn, it’s a sweet combination of all kinda of goodies, including fabric roving, dye and ribbon.
Then there’s the yarn. A beautiful selection of all the good stuff, including MadelineTosh. I know that isn’t remarkable in and of itself, but I discovered something that made my little fibrous heart flutter–the colorway ‘Whiskey Barrel’.
A few years ago, the dyer of my all-time favourite colorway, ‘Graphite’ by Viola Viola decided to take an indefinite dyeing hiatus. The big hit for me was that I could never find another colour quite like ‘Graphite’. Until ‘Whisky Barrel’!
