Three Wishes Fiber

So I went out to West Jordan, UT today for a yarn spinning class. But unfortunately it was cancelled. But I did look around the shop and bought some yarn too!

Three Wishes is one of the only places in the Salt Lake area that offers classes in more than just knitting. They have all sorts of classes on all sorts of topics! From knitting and crochet all the way to basketry, if it has to do with fabric, the ladies at Three Wishes teach it.

I went for the Drop Spindle class but I was the only one who did. Which was a huge bummer because I have been looking forward to this class for a couple months. But I did get to take a look around the shop and I really liked it.

The owner, Kristine Bullock, opened up the store for me and showed me around. I've got to say that this shop is unique. They have a ton of yarn that you just don't find very many places. They have the standard Noro, and Berrocco, but they also have Nashua, Queensland Collection and a pretty good selection of local hand spun/dyed yarns which I really don't see in very many shops.

I picked out some Queensland Collection - Kathmandu Aran yarn. This yarn is beautiful, and well priced at $7 for a 1 3/4 oz ball. Because its a blend of merino, silk and cashmere, its extra soft, but thick to call worsted.

I think I'm going to make a Greenbay Packers inspired beer sweater for Pete and I. Cuz its adorably and I love my Packers.

Generally speaking, the yarn was affordable. There were some really shockers (like $48 2.5 gram ball of hand spun yarn) but all in all this was a place that you can find high quality yarn that won't break your bank.

For you hookers out there, Three Wishes is very crochet friendly. Kristine told me that she was originally a crocheter, and totally appreciates the burden we bear! They carry a ton of crochet books and really nice hooks too, so if you're in search of some new reading material, you should check this shop out.

All in all, even though I didn't learn to spin, I was happy with my experience, and I will definitely try and get back out there (especially now that I have a frequent buyer card!).

Keep on hookin!
