A New York City Yarn Sampler
http://peacefulknitter.wordpress.com/ 2008/ 07/ 14/ a-new-york-city-yarn-sampler…Saturday’s activities in Manhattan led me to two local yarn stores that had been recommended to me by friends. The first is School Products, purportedly New York’s oldest yarn shop, located on Broadway between 28th and 29th Streets. It’s up on the 3rd floor, so you have to take an elevator and then ring the bell to be buzzed in to the store.

This stole was knit as a sample for Sarah, the Plucky Knitter, who sells her hand dyed yarns here. It is a merino/silk blend, and it is so smooth and slinky! The pattern required quite a few more yards than I had at my disposal (880 yds versus my 600 yds), so I had to improvise...
