Cashmere, mmmm (and a sale!)

I go to thrift stores pretty frequently to look for sweaters to felt and make things for my etsy shop and I find some cool stuff. I hear about people finding great cashmere sweaters to felt, or frog and knit with the yarn and I am never so lucky. I’ve chalked it up [...]
