Elann Yarn - RIP (Retire in Peace)


Back in May 2014, I created the post below praising Elann Yarn.  A few years later, they started selling their yarn exclusively through Amazon.  About a month ago, they announced their retirement and put their remaining inventory on sale.  Although there were an online retailer, I felt like another LYS was lost.  The yarn still sits my my stash with the pattern, waiting to make it to the top of my project list.  With Elann's demise, this project is on my mind.  I know that when I do start it, there will be a tinge of sadness as I stich.  

The Kimberly Scarf pattern was designed by Maggie Tietjen and is available on Ravelry.  She designed several of Elann's knitting patterns.  It's nice to know her work is still available.
