Isager & Lindsay

Ooor... more accurately, for our purposes, Lindsay and Isager.

Lindsay is our newest staffer and a recent grad of the U of O (Go Ducks!). I cornered her in front of the ShibuiKnits Wall (I'm evil, yes, I know) so all y'all will be able to identify her when you come in and need help or a yarn fix or whatever...

Lindsay is also our newest resident crochet expert. So, if you have a problem with a project, she might just be able to help you (unlike the rest of us). She also weaves, but that probably won't come up as an advice issue any time soon.

Please play nice, we'd like to keep her.

Moving on. We've got more new yarn! In a yarn store, I'm sure this isn't anything surprising. Except, well, it's an entirely new company. And oh-so-pretty. Introducing Isager, yarns by Marianne Isager:

At the moment, we have the Isager Wool 1 (a.k.a. Spinni), which is a lace-weight 100% wool yarn and Isager Alpaca 2, a fingering 50/50 alpaca/wool blend that is just plain sumptuous and perfect for color-work. They've being flying off of their respective shelves and hooks, so drop by soon if you'd like to try some.

*I said I'm evil, deal with it.
