There’s a new post over on The Woolpack Blog!

Every month in the Yarn Test Kitchen we take four skeins of locally produced/dyed/spun yarn and turn them into “one skein wonders.” This month’s testers really outdid themselves - four fabulous ideas for fi*****ng weight projects.

It was a joy to work with Sun Soaked Sister yarn - lovingly hand dyed by the incredibly talented Susan from Rainy Day Yarns in Gig Harbor.
