guys enjoyed this little tour and we'll talk more when I get back to the studio I'll see you in a few bye okay friends so I am back home I'm in the studio and I do have my purchase here with me so I will tell you that I had eyes on items throughout the store the entire time I was recording I tried to stay focused but my eyes kept veering to the side veering to the back and it just couldn't stay focused so my apologies in advance if I gave anyone vertigo just by how everything was moving I tried to be still I tried to be calm and everything but when I'm around yarn I can't really help help it you know anyway I want to say that my experience was unexpected in such a good way when I first walked to the front of the building I was expecting to see yarn floor to ceiling front to back and when I walked in I did get yarn floor to ceiling you know all in the front there but I looked back and I noticed that there were other things beyond the halfway point so all along the one side were supplies like knitting needles C hooks you know bits and Bobs of this and that and then on the other side was an entire fabric wall I think I caught some footage of that but right in the middle um were tables for classes which I saw that and I got excited because this is yet another place that I could go to to meet people and to you know really dig into the yarn arts and I got super excited when I learned about those classes so I look forward to perhaps joining a class or two I can't wait for that anyway I had a great experience there the staff was very nice um there was a class happening there was like a one-on-one session happening and so I tried my best to make sure that my recording wasn't interfering with the class um but nonetheless I had an ear to what was happening over there too I was trying to learn a thing or two as that was going on so that was interesting um so yeah anyway overall great experience I'm definitely going back the entire store is going to be on sale tomorrow they are celebrating an anniversary and yes it's so nice that I have to visit twice so again Home Zone is the name of the business it's in Media Pennsylvania it's in Delaware County uh it's the county right above the state of Delaware so it's not too far away I just it was one of those places that I didn't even know existed um and I'm super excited to know that it's relatively close so yeah there's that all right I'm going to place this on a brief pause I'm going to grab my things and I'm going to show you what I bought at Home Zone just give me one second okay so I am back and I have the things so the first thing that I saw and I think I caught it on the camera was this bag I had to have it I had to have it so it says you can't knit and worry at the same time and then it's got homeone Media Pennsylvania down there at the bottom it's so nice I love that Canvas Bag project bag you know I love it it's simple and effective it does all the things you need it to do right two handles I mean it's so good right and plus there's the snail so anyway there's that all right and then I also wound up uh getting triu um stainless steel red lace needles I needed this size so I am collecting all the sizes one size at a time I tried the others and I've come to really enjoy working with chu red lace so yeah I have different lengths of a five and a five and a half I also have a size 11 60 in uh red lace triu needles but but I decided that I needed Us number 10 so this is equivalent to like a 6 mm crochet hook right so 6 mm knitting needles um and the length is 40 in so yeah got this there they had a whole bunch of them hanging on the wall so they had this whole section of Chu red lace uh circulars and things and then underneath they had different variations of chaio needles like wooden ones and things and then to the left they had the adding needles and to the right they had all these other kinds and then there were crochet hooks I mean they were all there all the things were on the wall so anyway I really enjoy Chu red lace needles and so again I'm collecting them one size at a time and so yeah super excited about that okay next I wound up getting Earth Yarns uh Hank of Earth Yarns and the colurway here is called Black Grape and this is so good so machine wash with cold water and dry flat is the things this is a DK weight Hank of yarn this is 100% um extra fine Marino Super Wash of course and this is 300 yards let me give you a closeup look at that it's 300 yards 275 M it's 100 gr and they are suggesting a 4.5 Mim uh knitting needle if I would like to use a hook a 4.5 crochet hook um so yeah it's a harvest dck and it is super Squish and there's the tag Earth Yarns and lot number 57 so there is that super squish very nice so obviously this is a plain uh colorway here and you guys know I love variegated Yarns right I talked about this since way back when I started my channel and nothing's changed I love variegated Yarns and what I like most about variegated Yarns is being able to pick colors to go with it so this is the solid and I chose this it's so good it's from Earth Yarns and before I show you I like to tease um it's the same specs same everything okay so 300 yards 275 MERS 100 grams all the things so here is isn't this just so good are you kidding me it's so good what is the name of this it's so good it makes me smile I love it so une DK so U NE K unique DK so 300 yards right this was calling my name it was saying Juan I need you Juan please please take me please take me home please do all the things with your crochet hook or knitting needle doesn't matter create something with me so so yeah I went ahead and did a thing so this is what I am putting together now it was so nice that I had to get it Thrice so I have three Hanks of this beautiful beautiful yarn it's so good so there's that and then I have one solid to run throughout isn't that gorgeous now this middle hanck here has pops of I think that's like gray or it could be like a sky blue but it is very colorful it's understated it's like Jewel tonish um it's giving me Autumn like Autumn Harvest Vibes but yet not too literal and I'm really enjoying the way that these colors run together so there is that now I will tell you guys you guys know I love my value Yarns right I have walls filled with value Yarns I love them because of all the possibilities um that can arise from creativity right but I also have an appreciation for you know the yarn arts and the creativity that goes behind color work and dying Yarns and spinning Yarns and all of this I've come to learn on love and appreciate while I had my time here on YouTube so I've been exposed to different channels and content creators who do different things and so with that comes an appreciation for what they do and so yeah this is just another attempt of me you know working outside of my box and pushing myself by you know supporting local businesses and supporting the yarn arts and really just pushing myself outside of comfort zone let's see what I can create with this so um yeah this was my purchase so I have four Hanks of this sorry about that um yeah so four Hanks of the earth Yarns and I have a pack of red lace Tri go and the bag that was it so anyway I really hope that you enjoyed this you know local yarn shop Saturday I really enjoyed it um I do plan on continuing to go out there and check out the local yarn stores and because of where I'm located I'm Central to multiple areas so the metropolitan area of Philadelphia covers three states so Pennsylvania New Jersey Delaware I can also venture out into Maryland as well so I plan on doing that so when I can I will reach out to local yarn shops and see if I can tour their stores and show you
