    I just love dark yarn with a bit of color in it, so Midnight, the worsted weight merino in black with bits of blue catches my eye immediately. It would be easy to leave this shop with a full shopping bag and an empty wallet, but the Midnight yarn is number one on my list.

    Fantastic yarns and I love the names! I couldn't choose between Into the Deep, Bloody Nightmare and Dragon's Breath.
