March Yarn of the Month - Undyed Yarns

There may be snow in the air today but spring's green beauty is just around the corner.  To celebrate being "green", we're giving our customers 15% off all natural/undyed yarns during March!

Alpaca from Whispering Dreams Farm located in Brumley Gap, VA.
Icelandic wool yarn from Grandview Farm located here in Abingdon.
Classic Elite Vail
Classic Elite Canyon
Classic Elite Vista
Classic Elite Crestone
Classic Elite Blackthorn
Cascade Eco
Frabjous Fibers Peace Silk
Pumpkintown Primitives Hand Spun Alpaca

Here's an example of how beautiful those natural colors can be: This sweater is made from Classic Elite Yarn's Vail. The pattern is called Brown Sugar.  Vail is a lace weight alpaca & bamboo blend that is unbelievably soft.  I imagine a sweater made in that yarn would be on that you'd never want to take off!
