This week Kathy talks with first time guest Verity Britton, owner of Baa Ram Ewe, a lovely yarn shop and yarn producer from England.
The shop opened in 2009. They wanted to celebrate the history and heritage of wool in Yorkshire while appealing to modern knitters and their yarns really took off after Titus was reviewed by Clara Parkes. This year they introduces Dovestone DK and there’s great pattern support for both yarns.
Titus is available in 14 colors and Dovestone DK is available in 12 colors from WEBS, with great pattern support for both.
Steve’s Yarn Picks of the week :
- Sirdar Touch
- KFI Cash Fine – Closeout
- KFI Dulcet – Closeout
- Louisa Harding Grace – Closeout
- Louisa Harding Luzia – Closeout
- Misti Alpaca Baby Me Boo – Closeout
- Misti Alpaca Maki – Closeout

Noticed the online calendar indicates store is closed on Sun 12/27/15. Recent blog post indicates open through that date. So is it open or closed on Sun 12/27. Thank you for looking into this.
