Since we had a few hours before the wedding on Saturday, we explored the area and guess what?! We found a yarn store! What a surprise!
This is the owner of Mountain Yarns--the very talented Tina.
She spins
and weaves
and has the coziest shop full of goodies.
And I didn't want Tina to think that I was a brash, rude New Yorker--so, of course, I had to buy some "courtesy yarn." Just think of me as a one-person NYC Committee of Politeness.
The yarn is handspun and dyed by Tina and is a combination of wool, bamboo and angora. I think this yarn is asking to be My So Called Scarf.

You are such a good person, Mary. I know it was not easy for you to buy that yarn.
"Courtesy yarn"...now why haven't I thought of that?
My husband used to say I could smell any fabric store within 50 miles. My nose has now adjusted to sniff out yarn stores! He doesn't like those any better.
"Courtesy yarn" -- love it; thank you for adding that to my shopping vocabulary!
Not only did your post bring a smile to my face, but everyone else's comments are so true.
Love that yarn and love the so-called scarf pattern as well. Looks like it was a beautiful wedding too.
:)
Courtesy Yarn!!! I love that term.
Who says courtesy is dead? You are not only courteous but helping the local economy as well. Your So-Called Scarf should create great karma (and a LOVELY scarf)! What a great shop to visit.
The yarn is lovely. I like the subtle changes in color and texture. It will look really pretty in the pattern you picked.
