We visited Colorful Yarns in Centennial, Colorado when we visited our daughter last month and I bought some souvenir yarn all in fingering weight.
Two hand-dyed in the Denver area and one from Texas.
Knerd String is located in Castle Rock, Colorado. I loved the greens and purples in the Mr. Greensleeves colorway. As this is 100% wool, it will become a shawl of some sort.
Andromeda‘s Grumpy Gus is a special colorway created just for the Colorful Yarns shop. This hank of blues and greens will become socks or a shawl in a yet-to-be-determined pattern.
I had to have the grey and touch of purple Chasing Rabbits Fern yarn in Tarnish hand-dyed in Amarillo, Texas.
I’m a sucker for greys and other neutral colors though I also like color…it just depends on my mood and the project on which I’m working.
Do you buy souvenir yarn, fabric or other things on your travels?
those are really neat colors

Very nice choices! I live buying souvenir yarn, it lets me relive the vacation when I knit it and when I wear the garment.

I always buy yarn when I travel. I mean, you have to visit the LYS, and it would almost be rude not to get a skein or two or five… best thing is, you will always remember that that project was made with yarn from that trip or vacation
