Must have: The Yarn Spot colorway.
Kettle dyed and hand painted to resemble a pansy.
A pansy flower for you boys reading this.

Back to today's real topic of Yarn Must Haves.
Victoria at The Yarn Spot yarn shop gave me this lovely ceramic pansy (flower) button and asked me to create a special Yarn Spot colorway using it as inspiration. I'm in love with this colorway, which is why I'm calling it this week's Yarn Must Have.
Their shipment arrived yesterday. If you want to get on this Must Have, I would suggest calling or stopping by as soon possible. (They also have some other awesome things in the shipment -cough-GeorgiaPeach-cough-.)
The Yarn Spot is a friendly shop, I guarantee they will not hang up on you if you call. Unless you insult me, in which case they are bound by their blood oath to avenge my foes.
See how I worked in some male-oriented content into this post about pansy yarn?
I'm pretty proud of myself.
I made this colorway on several different yarn bases, including Glenhaven Cashmerino, McClellan, Adorn, and Kells.
See the difference in color between the top skein and the bottom two pictures? That's what a little bamboo does for you.
The Yarn Spot colorway is only available at The Yarn Spot! Imagine that!

P.S. I mentioned the phrase The Yarn Spot nine times in one post. The Yarn Spot. Ten times. The Yarn Spot. Eleven.
