Vermillion yarn


While we were traveling through Ohio, visiting Lake Erie Lighthouses, (see previous post), we walked through the town of Vermillion.  It was lovely - I recommend it.  As we turned the corner, we walked right up to a local yarn store.

It is the Cast On Yarn Studio, and you can read about it at this link.

I looked at lots of yarn there, and bought three skeins of Cestari Yarn.  It is a two-ply worsted weight in blue and green.  Each skein is 170 yards.

Go visit Vermillion.  Buy yarn and ice cream, visit the shore, and see the lighthouse.

Ohio Lighthouses

A  few weeks ago, Steve and I took a trip to Ohoi to look at Lake Erie Lighthouses. It was a great trip - here are the six we visited.  All photos except the first were taken with my Nikon 5100.  The first one is an iPhone 7 photo,
