Have you seen these yet in person? I’m wondering how soft they are? I may just have to make a trip to Joanns and/or Michaels tomorrow!!
Cute! I wonder if we have them in Canada yet?
I was just getting ready to leave for Hobby Lobby. I’ll have to check. I’m really curious about the one that contains corn.
Those look nice!
I love Bernat but i’ve never seen them in Michaels or joanne. I wish stores would carry ALL their yarns but sometimes they just choose a few of them to put on the shelves.
very pretty.
They are very pretty. I will look out for them.
Really? :?? Those two stores are the only place I’ve seen them.
Yes, they have most of Bernat’s yarn. HL has only a few, some of the glitzy stuff and baby yarns, but more recently have added the Alpaca and Felting yarn. Hopefully they’re going to get more of the line in because there’s no Joann’s in my state, though Michael’s opened a store about 180 miles from me…
Sue, I remember how frustrated I was trying to find ANYTHING in Wyoming. We lived in Cody . . . had to travel to Colorado for decent yarn.
Aren’t you happy for internet ordering?
Well there is a yarn store in Cody now, though she doesn’t stock a great deal, so that’s something. There are 2 nice ones here, though I get most of my yarn at Hobby Lobby and can find some amazing stuff at the thrift store sometimes.
Ooh, Jan, those are lovely! They’d make great machine-washable and -dryable summer sweaters. (Do we have a word that means “summer sweaters” that doesn’t sound so warm? Maybe just “summer tops”?)
I don’t know how they’d “stripe up” for an adult sweater, but for a kids they’d be adorable!
I define sweater as one one with longer arms and a top as shorter or sleeveless, but that may be my own weird idea. I am making a ‘summer top’ right now. :teehee:
Suzeeq, I used to work for a media company that shipped all over the US. Wyoming was the hardest place to distribute product. I recall we used mainly one company because they were the only one who could get things where we needed them to be. I thing they were called Yellow Freight. Bless 'em!
I’m making a summer top right now, too! Top-down raglan with short sleeves, knit in the round because I wanted a fun, easy, quick knit.
That’s true about the striping. I wonder how cumbersome it would be to use two skeins at a time, using the color changes in the same order in each skein to make the stripes wider? Anyone out there ever do this? Rats, I can’t think of any way to avoid a zillion ends…I don’t think I could carry the yarn over several rounds because the changes would begin and end at different points.
Yellow freight is pretty common throughout the west and they go all over the country too. There’s 3 interstates that go through the state though, usually the traffic is on their way to someone else. I think the lack of stores/products is because we have such a low population - the whole state has only half a million people, probably less. The economy is booming though because it’s a huge fuel producing area - coal, natural gas and others.
I’m making a bottom up raglan with short sleeves! :teehee:

There’s no guarantee that each skein is exactly the same either so I think it would be a wasted effort. :shrug:
I’m sure that Mary Maxim will be carrying those yarns very soon!
:knitting:
I saw Baby Jacquards at Len Mill’s Store (Ontario).
It’s nice & soft, but the colour blends didn’t thrill me for the baby blanket I need to make. I ended up buying Bernat ‘Softee Baby’ in Antique White.
Well, I was a bit disappointed…Drove by my Michael’s and my Jo-Anne and neither one had the new ones!! 
Oh well…maybe soon??
