More hand-dyed yarn More hand-dyed yarn
I'm a sucker for some of ReBelle Robyn's hand-dyed yarns. This merino is so soft. Possibly for use as leg or arm warmers in the future.

Niiiice! I wanted to make some of those HP scarves but had problems finding yarn in the stores. Would you suggest ordering online?

There are many sources online, but honestly if you can find a worsted weight yarn in an appropriate color, you are good to go. I made an all wool one for myself out of Cascade 220, which has a fantastic color selection. I've seen ones on the HP knitting community using Red Heart even.

From what I hear, SF has awesome yarn shops, so I think you should be able to find something local. :)
