Hither and Yarn, Torrington, CT

So I was asked to blog about the closing of a local yarn shop.  Hither and Yarn in Torrington, CT is closing it's doors.  The owner has recently published a knitting book and will be working on designing.  Personally this has always been my favorite name for a yarn shop.

So I got the letter when I got home on Saturday.  The store is closed on Sunday and Monday, so Tuesday I headed off.....

Right now most of the discount is 20%.  I bought 4 books (I am now officially addicted to sock knitting books), some yarn, a circular and a shawl pin.

So I know most of my readers are not Connecticut residents, but if you find your way near there, stop in.  She still had quite a lot of stock left, especially an entire wall of Noro....

Now with the skein of Nerd Girls yarn that was waiting for me on my arrival and the Candy Skein I just ordered...I have added quite a bit to my stash over the past week or so....

and, of course, I stopped at my local, local yarn shop to let Mary know about the closing and picked up another skein of sock yarn....it's got sparkles...
