We are going to change how things are done this year. The 'name' yarns (Rowan, RYC, Debbie Bliss, Louisa Harding, Elsebeth Lavold) are going to be priced at $10 for a 100gram ball and $5 for a 50gram ball. For everything else, you will fill a plastic bag. Each size bag will have a price and you can put as much yarn in the bag as possible. We have so much yarn this year that it was impossible to price it all.
Lavold
Here are a few pictures from the new Elsebeth Lavold book #13 Out of the Woods.

The book should be available in August.  Here are some links to Elsebeth's website.  These do not show the new yarns and books for fall but these will be updated once her new books come out.
