Now that I've moved to the USA (two months ago), I thought that I should write my posts in English. I already apologize for all the mistakes I'll make.

After few weeks spent under papers and parcels, I discover all the advantages of being here... plenty of artcrafts shops with thousands of new ideas and projects to undertake. Although I came with almost 2 parcels of my favorite bowls of wool, I already yield to temptation of buying other ones here... In my defense, I was left unsupervised... and there were new bowls everywhere that I needed to test...

First and important thing to me, here, all the yarns I saw in most of the shops I visited (4 national brands only for the moment...) are in acrylic or polyester, mainly with no or low percentage of wool. That means the quality, for somenone who loves nice yarns like me, is poorer. I haven't seen Merino, nor Alpaga, or mix of Silk or Mohair, and I forget about Angora.

But the nice counterpart is that the panel is huge in colors and size. I have seen chunky yarns for soft blankets to knit in 25mm (not used yet to American size of neddles...) or big yarns like terry cloth for bath mat that I will sell in my webshop soon (see tab above). There's also plenty of nice camaieu or color contrasts ready to knit in different styles of stripes. You can combine all these to obtain many different styles according to your wishes.

So let's start this new adventure with joy and thousands of projects in mind and soon on my neddles!

New country, new projects,...
