The annual Miss Babs trunk show may be over, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop. We kept a bunch of yarn from the trunk show and have even added more! The ever-popular Yummy 2-ply gradients and Yowza are among our favorites available in the shop now.
Yowza, one of Miss Babs’ flagship bases, is a mega skein of light worsted weight superwash merino. It’s squishy, soft and perfect for accessories and sweaters alike. What’s also great about the mega yardage? Fewer ends to weave in and many projects need just 1-2 skeins! You can’t go wrong with either one of her classic semi-solid colorways or a wild, variegated skein and both work up beautifully.
Another very popular favorite are the Yummy 2-ply gradient sets. Made of 6 Yummy 2-ply toes put together in a pleasing gradient, these sets pair beautifully with full skeins of Yummy 2-ply or Estrellita (also available in limited quantities), or work up nicely on their own. The pattern options are endless, with new patterns being released all the time for these fun sets. The hardest part is picking your favorite color, or you can do what I do, and just collect them all!
