We are super excited to host Miss Babs and her yarns for an amazing Pop Up event outside in our tents from Sept 24-26. Today we are featuring two more of the yarns that you can shop during this event, as well as the newest pattern samples that will be on display at the event.
As of 2021, Miss Babs has new version of Sojourn that we love even more than the original! With the same fiber blend of cashmere and silk, Sojourn will continue to be our go-to yarn for luxurious accessories. The new version has a 3-ply construction, making it sleeker and softer in the hand with less halo for greater stitch definition.
