Plucky Finds

As promised (and since the sun came out enough for me to snap a few shots), here is what I walked away with from the Plucky Open House this past weekend. 
2 skeins of the brand new Primo in Candy Apple
-75% Merino, 20% Cashmere, 5% Nylon
-385 Yards
-Fingering Weight
1 skein MW Superwash
100% Merino Wool Superwash in Honey Wilkes
-215 Yards
-Worsted Weight

I also left with one skein of this:



But I also have four more on the way :-)
Primo in Grey Shimmer
-75% Merino, 20%, 5% Nylon
-385 Yards
-Fingering Weight

I have big plans for this yarn, a new cardigan (that will happen to be in my size) that will eventually develop inot a pattern I've wanted to write up for quite some time.  I was honestly waiting for just the right hue of Plucky yarn.  Thanks so the open house, I was enabled!

And here's a peak at how it's knitting up:


Ah-maz-ing!

You can peep more Plucky yarn in other people's stash here on Ravelry.

***Needed to add this:  Sarah will be updating her Etsy shop tomorrow!  If you've had a hard time getting your own Plucky, here's your chance.  Read more about it on her blog here (and follow for postings on future updates as well)***
