More Gushing About Yarn

Now where did I leave y'all last time? Bozeman...when we left Bozeman we stayed in Montana and headed north towards Kalispell, MT. I actually didn't think I'd visit another yarn shop while in Montana. I figured I went to one so let's wait until we move on to the next state...hold off, save money, yada yada. Then I read a write up for Kalispell's very own yarn shop, Camas Creek. All I can say is WOW, maybe a double WOW!

This place is so beautiful and I 'm not just talking about the yarn. Not only do they have one of the best selections of needles & yarn I have ever seen the owners, Melanie and Andy spent a lot of time, effort and cash to totally rehab the building that holds the shop. I'm not kidding either...my mouth fell open when I walked through the doors. Once again my pictures don't do the shop justice, but you can check out their very own commercial to get a small taste.




I only wish that I had visited early on during our week long visit in Kalispell...knitting on comfy sofas, drinking coffee from a real cup, and such nice folks would have been very special. OK, 'nough of the gushing on to what I actually bought.

I ended up with Montana's very own Mountain Colors in two different types of yarn...one called Winter Lace (50% wool, 50% silk) in a huge skein of 1200 yards called deep blue. I also bought a fun yarn from Mountain Colors called Twizzle (85% merino wool, 15% silk) in the colorway wild horse. Maybe I should have bought one more skein to have enough for a vest...mmm. Phone call may need to be placed.
