This weekend I had to catch 2 trains and a bus with a daughter and suitcase in tow to pick up Tom in Central CA. I thought he wasnt going to need help but apparently I was wrong.
Anyway, while I was there I convinced him to visit an adorable town called Solvang. It is a little town that is themed like a danish village. It is a great place to visit if you are ever in the Santa Barbara area. Its a 40 minute drive North of Santa Barbara. Plan to spend the day there.
I have been to Solvang a few times but this trip had to be quick since we were supposed to be packing up. The last time I went I tried to go to a cute boutique called Village Spinning and Weaving, but they were closed on Tuesdays and it was Tuesday.
This time I made sure we went on a Monday. The store has beautiful yarns and lots of roving in many colors. There are books and free patterns throughout the store. If you are ever in Solvang be sure to stop by. They are at 425 Alisal Rd.
You want to see the goods I bought, yes?
Scrumptiously beautiful wool; 4oz for $8.50. Yes that is all I bought. I am still on a tight budget here! I was drooling over a beautiful hand dyed wool yarn but it was $14. An ouch on my yarn budget. Oh and the loom for $149. The loom almost went home with me except that I need a new pair of running shoes and some clothes. Not a loom. There is always next time.
