I just got an email from your friend as I asked her when yarn would be
available to purchase. she said what she has on hand she is going to a show
this weekend.
Please I hope your color yarn will be a worstered weight as I love that
weight the best.

I think it will be worsted weight - don't know yet - we will meet Friday
night and work on that, I think. One of the women in our group is the
color-maker for our ideas. We are working on colors and weights for
summer
right now for the shop for the opening of it. I will keep you all posted
as
things progress. We want to have our special yarns ready, along with
knitted items in that yarn, for summer when the shop opens.
