We're welcoming a new addition to our enviable stash - Madelinetosh Farm Twist has arrived, and our lives might never be the same! Well... our knitting lives, at least! Can you imagine anything more delightful than Tosh Merino Light?! How about 2 strands of TML twisted together?! Enter Farm Twist!
Scrumptious and squishy, Farm Twist takes the [yarn] cake! Plied to perfection, this yarn offers excellent stitch definition, making it perfect for blankets, sweaters, and the like. If you've never knit with this yarn, try a skein or two... you and your needles won't be sorry!

After a week of snow, and we do mean A LOT of snow, we're ready to become snowbirds. While we can't literally fly the coop (someone's gotta make sure that your yarn is getting to you!), a Bean can dream, right?! This week, we'll have to let February's Lorna's Laces Limited Edition color do the traveling for us!
This month, we're headed to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park! The master dyers at Lorna's Laces have concocted the PERFECT color for February and it does not disappoint! Inspired by the colors created during a volcanic eruption on the Big Island, reds, oranges, yellows, with a bit of purple, each skein is bursting with saturated hues, ready to take your crafting to the next level!
Available in a Lorna's Laces favorite, Shepherd Sock, snag your skeins today! We have limited stock, and once it is gone, it's gone! (January's color sold out faster than we could spell Mauna Loa!)
