Oh My Opal
Posted by Casper Alixander on
Afternoon all! Just a quick one today. We've got new Opal sock yarn in, and you know what happens when we get new stock in... This is going FAST, and we aren't surprised. We usually get a random lot of yarn when we order it - we literally just ask them to send whatever they want, because there's absolutely no chance of Opal ever bringing out a subpar shade in their sock yarns.

Posted by Casper Alixander on
It's here! It's happening! We have a new chunky yarn coming our way and we are SO EXCITED.
