More Pto. Montt
Puerto Montt really is super-saturated with color and the jumping off point for Chile’s famous lake district. I want to plan a return visit someday.
Hey dearest ones, don’t forget – huge blowout holiday sale going on HERE at Craftsy.com. Sign up for my class! The Fair Isle Vest: Stranded and Steeked.
Workshop with Lana Chucao
Once ashore in Puerto Montt, were whisked away to a beautiful suburb of where the talented ladies of Lana Chucao treated our crew to a fantastic day of dyeing, spinning weaving and of course, shopping. Lana Chucao makes fantastic artisan yarns with 100% Chilean wool in amazing colors, in both novelty and plain.
