Here's a little sample of what you walk into when you visit the Tolt Wool & Yarns shop in Carnation Washington.
I was happy to meet Beth, a modest employee, and knitter telling me she's a "jack of most knitting but the master of none." She was very informative, eager to help, and has a way making you feel at home in this darling shop.
Yes they have tons of Madeline Tosh, in many weights, and can you really pick out a bad color?
Anna the owner of the shop came to say hello and introduce herself. She's a mother of 4 children! And of coarse runs the shop and a farm~ why not?
A great shop to add to your list of favorites.
Anna was kind and took this photo of my husband and I, today was our 27th wedding anniversary~
Hope to visit again soon. I bought some beautiful "Organik" (merino, baby alpaca and silk), aquatic forest color (to die for) yarn. Some locally farmed/spun alpaca,dark rose grey color, and other treasures.
What a day!!!
Melissa when can we go together? you'll love it~
been trying to get out there ever since they opened but my plans have kept falling through
ReplyDeletesomeday...
I know you've wanted to go and I know you will. I told the 2 gals I met about you, so they're waiting to meet you. On the way o Tolt we drove by a sign for Quintessential Yarns but didn't have time to stop.
DeleteWow. That photo of the little partitions for each ball of yarn? Incredible! Gah, you're killing me with this post!
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful shop, Her husband is in construction and he's added wood in one way or another throughout the store, She's been collecting antique shelving and other pieces that add lots of character. Come on over for a visit :)

ReplyDeleteI would love to visit, it looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Kellli.
Thanks Tracey, my husband had to be in Seattle, at a hand specialist for his injured finger so we made a date of it~ had lunch at our favorite burger place "Dicks Drive In", in a unique, busy part of Seattle called Capital Hill.
DeleteCan't wait to visit Tolt again.
So pretty of a store!! Happy anniversary to you both :) you look cute together!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen, we kinda have a tradition of yarn shops and Cabela's for our wedded-bliss of a day. We're really fancy folks around here.
DeleteIt looks like such a fun yarn store. Thank you so much for sharing! Yay for me getting to visit a yarn store (virtually) and not spending all my mortgage money :)
ReplyDeleteI did enough damage for both of us~
DeleteYou're wearing your SPIRE!!!!!!!!! So beautiful, Kelli! Congrats on your anniversary. The shop is on my
ReplyDelete"to go to" list. I hope it's soon. BTW, I haven't had the focus to work on my Spire since before Stitches. I'll get back to it soon. You and your hubby make a great-looking couple. I hope his hand is OK. We missed you today at Sarah's. Hugs!
Thank you,
DeleteI am wearing my shawl!!! (I can't believe I finished) I've got 2 loves in the photo with me! Yes you need to check out Tolt!
I missed you guys and will next week too :( So you'll have to wait to see my Spire. My husbands finger should heal fine,
Take care~ hugs right back
