I did buy some yarn on my cruise at the beginning of September -- but only in Canada, as it turned out. First, at Loop in Halifax, I got a skein of Tanis Fiber Arts merino laceweight yarn in the Lagoon colorway. Then at Cricket Cove in St. John I got some Handmaiden yarn -- a skein of rumple (a 100% silk with a nice boucle texture) and another skein of rumple together with a skein of angel hair (70% kid mohair, 30% nylon) in coordinated colorways. Each came with a hangtag pattern for a shawl. I thought that was a clever idea -- no need to wonder what to make of the yarn or whether you would have enough yarn for the pattern.
