Testimonials about our yarn

It's our 10th anniversary, and we wouldn't be here this long without you, our dear customer. For our February Grand Prize Giveaway, we asked our customers to submit what they love about our yarn.  Geri was our winner. Here is her story. 

Geri Kuster's Eternity's Braids.
Yarn: Robin’s Promise Two Sparrows DK, 6 skeins 
Color: African Firefinch Feather
Pattern: Eternity’s Braids by Susan Dickerson 

Why I loved it: I have always wanted a red outer garment, and when I first purchased my original two skeins of African Firefinch Feather, I knew I wanted to save this special color for a truly special project. Soon afterward, Susan published Eternity Braids.

Shortly after the new year, I cast on my first stitches feeling a bit overwhelmed by my first cabling project. 2025 became a tumultuous year for my family, but I methodically worked my 22 repetitions of the 24 row repeat despite several large breaks from knitting. The bright red inspired by this tiny feathered songstress kept me knitting despite my setbacks.

Eventually, I completed my beautiful red poncho just in time to visit my 92-year-old mother for Christmas. I love the versatility of the poncho and have received many compliments from family and friends.
