Thursday I arrived in Omaha. After lunch my friend Joanne took me to a couple of local yarn shops. I like to buy souvenir yarn from places I visit, usually a single skein of local sock yarn.
I got in the peacock pen to photograph the skein of Acid Peacock yarn by One Twisted Tree at ImagiKnit.
Today at her friend’s farm and I tried to take a photo of the yarn AND the peacock. You can see the focusing issues I experienced.
Joanne took the next four photos. A trunkful of yarn. Hotel morning selfie she took with her timer on. Me coming out of the peacock pen.

Gorgeous colours, you crazy woman 🙂 🙂 Happy Saturday!
Beautiful color! Have a great time!
Ruth and the yarn match the beautiful peacock!
Enjoy your trip! Lovely yarn.
Thanks Kristin
Yesterday I purchased wild turquoise tennis shoes; that remind me of the peacock and the yarn. However, I am staying clear of the pen.
They sound like a match!
I am making up my own narrative from the pictures, that you spun the yarn from the peacock’s feathers.
A creative narrative for sure Isobel
You must have a huge stash of yarn Ruth, enough to last a lifetime?
Stash just in two bins, Gilly. Not as much as you think. I buy single skeins of sock yarn when I travel and knit them up as fast as I can. I did get 4 colors to knit up a Batman hat for Charlie, also. I try to buy for specific projects.
My sister in law and my daughters love to visit yarn stores and book stores when they travel. Their luggage is always much heavier on the return trip.
I love that they plan ahead and load up! I usually limit to one skein of sock yarn as my souvenir.
Those colors are brilliant! Love them!
