Meet Rex and Bijorn, owners of Handpainted Yarns and the benefactors of the trunk show we are hosting this week. Just labeling and pricing everything has turned out to be a task only a brave woman would attempt, there is that much yarn.

One of the products they have is called the Giant Skein. Pictured above in La Boheme, the Giant Skein contains 12 different yarns that are all painted the same colorway and are the same gauge. With one ten ounce skein you can knit a vest, shawl or scarf, and with the twenty ounce skein a sweater or afghan. I'll post pictures this weekend of the garments they sent us. They are just luscious.
