There’s an adorable yarn shop in Florida called A Good Yarn, and they’re not your average LYS. They have their brick and mortar location, yes, but they also have a robust online shop featuring all kinds of goodies for folks who don’t find themselves in Sarasota on a regular basis. Not only that, A Good Yarn offers yarns in custom colorways, and now, an exlusive yarn base too! This month’s yarn review & giveaway features A Good Yarn’s Boca Chica yarn, a fingering weight, chain-construction yarn in 100% superwash merino wool. Read on for the details, including project ideas, and enter to win a generous 480-yard skein!
