cotton
when i posted my cone of peaches & creme from ebay awhile back, Donna A. (an anonymous commenter) left me the link to order directly from the manufacturer. thanks for the enabling donna! i quickly ordered a ball of several colorways to see what i thought (you can never trust your monitor!). so above i have (clockwise and then center) fairy tales, black cherry, aztec ombre, pink lemonade, mint chocolate (which has blue and brown, not green and brown as you would think!), raspberry swirl and in the center, mar-di-gras.
**EDITED TO ADD LINK shop direct
i have no idea what i am doing with them yet. :) dishcloths most likely.
and i'll be including this blurb in most of my may posts for those that didn't catch it yesterday...
if you have been reading this blog for awhile you know that may is my blogiversary month! i'll officially hit 3 years at the end of this month. it boggles my mind. as you know, i have done some give aways in celebration and this year will be no different. i haven't worked out prizes (but duh! you know stitch markers will be involved!) but i will say that i highly encourage you to leave comments in may. i will actually be keeping track of all the comments and my contest will somehow revolve around them. so if you are a lurker i suggest you de-lurk if you want the chance at some good stuff! more details to come.

I didn't realize that peaches and cream came in so many wonderful colors.
I heart contests! Happy 3 years!
The Peaches & Cream yarn looks yummy... can you share the contact info for ordering from the Co.?
Congrats on 3 years! I look forward reading your blog on a regular basis. It's been fun!
Beautiful colors! I've been looking for some cotton to make another hat for my MIL...That might be just the thing!
The one in the bottom (pink/yellow/green) is so yummy and perfect for Project Spectrum.
Oh, such pretty colors. I was just going to ask you for the link. Not as if I need to look at more dishcloth cotton, but I will take a look.
I think the labels are probably the best part. Way fun.
I love that black cherry! I remember awhile ago you'd mentioned knitting a beach blanket out of the cotton yarn, I always thought that was a good idea, did you ever do it?
Well, then, I guess I need to de-lurk. I read all the time, but mostly have not much to say other than "that looks cool" or something else like that. That yarn does indeed look cool.
Those colors are all so gorgeous. I think I'll have to break out my cotton stash soon & get started on some dishcloths, too.
OMG those colors are awesome. I have an addiction to knitting cotton dishcloths. My local stores have a pitiful selection of sugar n cream and only Walmart (which I avoid like the plague) has peaches n cream around here so I'm going to check out that link!
Good gravy, who knew P&C came in all those colors? Of course I went straight to the 'specials' section, and now 40 kilos of butter yellow dishcloth yarn are winging their way to my house.
What do they say about things coming in 3's? I like the MardisGras color the best...don't you just love enablers?
I stopped knitting the washcloths because I couldn't find any interesting color combinations. Thanks for solving that problem ... not!
Happy Blogiversary!
seriously coveting the yarn...plus the name makes me hungry for cobbler, or ice cream, or both...now I need a snack.
I didn't know you could order peaches & creme straight from the tree!!! Crazy!
Happy 3 years!
I like the blue and brown best! Yum.
Lovely kitchen cotton, and the best part is it's not that expensive! Yay!
I really like the black cherry colorway. Maybe I should knit dishcloths during my commute/lunch for awhile to get over my sock slump. Hmmm...I do need new dishcloths!
Thanks for adding the link! I may have to buy some so that I can get some more dishcloths going. I like the mint chocolate in the blue and brown - it is odd that it's blue and brown and now green and brown, as in an Andes mint.
Happy Blogiversary. I guess it's time to delurk for the contest. I enjoy your blog and its been on my blogroll for about 1.5 yrs so far. Keep up the good work!
Hey Amy,
Thanks for sharing the "buy direct" link for the yarn...it's funny, but the Peaches and Cream yarn I just bought (on sale for a $1 a skein at a craft store) had a different label...I wonder why? Love the Mint Chocolate colorway, although I agree that lint, minty green would have been what I espected, instead of blue...oh, well, I like it in blue better!
thanks for the link to the store. such great colors. Happy Blogiversary. Time sure does fly by, doesn't it!?!
I am completely addicted to kitchen cotton these days, I love the raspberry swirl!
Happy blogiversary!!!
De-lurking after reading your blog for quite a few months without commenting--nothing like a contest to give someone a nudge, eh? I love the army girl socks you just finished--those colors are fantastic together.
i love dishrag cotton. those are some great colors. and happy upcoming blog-iversary
Love those... i just bought some at my LYS, but they didn't have nearly the selection. I'm using mine for baby "gear" (they're machine washable!!!) i.e. burp clothes, bibs, etc. likely with a few washclothes thrown in!
I recently found your blog while googling trekking yarn. The shot of the sour apple colorway sent me directly to the peaches & cream website! I did have some will power, but it's gonna be harder now after seeing this photo!!
LOVE some of the colors that Peaches and Creme has, however....my current cotton stash is stuffed and overflowing a VERY large Lantern Moon basket at the moment, so I'm resisting temptation for as long as I can....sigh...:)
Oooh, I really, really LOVE the mint chocolate (although I think you are right about the green vs. blue thing).
Wow, so many beautiful color combos. I guess I'll have to check out the link.
I think your webpage is awesome. I have been lurking about for 3 months or so and this is the first time I have posted. Happy blogaversary
Ohhh.. thank you for that link.(somthingelsetospendmoneyon..heee.) I, like you, are a norwesterner, and have had no idea where to find this stuff. Sugar and Cream is alright but Peaches and Cream comes in sooo many colors!
Gracias!
Thanks so much for this link!! I make soap and buy tons of this stuff to make washcloths to package with my soap. Can't wait to shop direct!!
I didn't know Peaches and Cream came in such nice colors. They're lovely.

oh my - peaches and cream is very addicting - i have an entire comforter bag (those plastic bags w/ the zippers on them that comforters come in) filled w/ the stuff! : )
My craft store NEVER has dishcloth cotton that looks this good! I love that mint chocolate colorway, though I agree with you ... why blue?
I gave dishcloths a try when the MDK book came out. They're fun...but I don't like using them (I'm more of a sponge lover for the kitchen). I gave mine to my mom but now she's interested in knitting some. Guess I'll have to share some of my stash and show her your source to get her going!
Delurking here. I always read, but I'm not sure I've commented. sometimes you feel like--what she said! Do enjoy your blog, though!
I haven't knit a dishcloth in ages! The omnipresent Bernat Handicrafter seems so hard on the hands after using other cottons!
I read your blog almost daily. Love your home decor. Also bought some markers for my daughter for a gift-VERY Cute! Keep up the good work. Happy Anniv
I love dishcloths and dishcloth yarn. Sigh... Thanks for enabling me now with the shop direct link! And happy blogiversary - may you have many more to come!
3 years - congratulations!
I had no idea Peaches/Cream had so many great colors.
Sorry about being anonymous. I don't have a blog, I'm just an avid reader at this point.
I'm glad you found the info for Peaches and Creme helpful. I contacted them regarding a knitting event I recently put together and found them to be so nice! I love the mint chocolate as well. I may need to go order some too!
Happy Blogiversary.
Do...not...go...to...site...and...order...peaches...and...cream...cotton...! I can't help myself...it looks SOOOOO delicious :o)
Happy 3 years :o)
I'm usually not a huge Peaches 'N' Cream fan, but some of those colors are tempting. And I could always use a couple more dishcloths.
Happy Blogiversary!!
I love the mint chocolate color :)
Happy Blogiversary!
I want your stash! I love how when bloggers mention yarn, all the lurkers come out of hiding. It's just too funny! Maybe I should try it too!
Congratulations on the 3 years, and in such the fine month of Mayhem.
Ps those are rather rad colors for the Peaches and Cream.
I am a lurker coming out of hiding! I, too, was enabled by Donna A.'s comments and ordered several ombres as well. Mar-di-gras and Chocolate Mint are two that we share in common. I'll post a picture of my blog when they are received! Thanks for sharing. I cannot wait to see what you do with these great colors.
Those colors are so fun, makes me want to knit dish cloths!
What if I'm too shy to de-lurk and say something?
Well, let's all pretend I'm not... and I'll de-lurk and say happy blogiversary!
Oh, okay, if you put it that way! (Poking my nose out of my lurkdom cave.) Thanks for the link to shop directly!
Those colors are fantastic! Now I want to make some dishcloths!
I was going to leave you a comment yesterday to say that I was sorry not to see you at the LYS Tour meeting. But then I didn't want to look like I was just commenting to get in on the contest. :) But what the heck. I want in.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. See you around!
Happy 2nd day of your 3-year blogiversary month!!
I couldn't stop loading up my cart either. I figured the cost per ball including shipping and it was like 10 cents more than at the store and I don't have to go anywhere.
I just ordered from them last week! I sure wished I had ordered the Black Cherry though!
Thanks for the direct link... I'm getting ready to knit up a bunch of bibs and burp clothes and I might just need a couple (or ten) more colorways.
I am TOTALLY jealous of your ability to finish so many projects. I'm working on a poncho for my daughter that I started IN NOVEMBER!
Right after your first P&C post, I hit the store for some Sour Apple, Passion & Mint Chocolate. Weren't you a little peeved that there wasn't any green in the Mint Chocolate?
Yum, I like all the colors. The bowl you have the yarn in is so pretty.
I'm delurking in honor of your blogversary.... I've only stumbled upon your blog a month ago, but I keep coming back. Thanks for the link to the Peaches & Creme site - it has many more interesting colors than Sugar & Cream, I will have to buy some! (Look what you did.) I also love your army girl socks.
Wow, I never knew Peaches & Cream came in such cool colors.
Oh, that direct shop link looks dangerous. I think I see some dishcloth knitting in my future. I always get bored with what they have in the stores so it will be nice to have some crazy color options.
Oooh thanks for the link for the cotton!
Man - there is nothing like the beautiful colors of cotton. It is a definite quick, inexpensive fix!
So many colors to choose from! Did you know that you can order a color card from them for $15? It contains all 100+ colors. It's a little pricey, but worth it to see actual samples.

Love your blog! Discovered it when I was searching for where to buy Peaches & Creme.
I started a crocheted baby blanket with a cone I bough on sale. Now I can't seem to get more (I ran short). Even the manufacturer's site doesn't make it clear which one I need...I emailed them.
Anyway, I wanted to make your readers aware that Peaches & Creme can be used for lots more than dishcloths!
It would make a wonderful little girl's dress or a sunsuit for a baby boy or girl, also.
Happy knitting (AND CROCHETING)
