Bashful Armadillo Fibers creates hand-painted yarns inspired by all things Texas, from our wildflowers to the different state regions to the various attractions across the Lone Star State. All applied to a Superwash, Extrafine Merino base in fingering, DK and Worsted/Aran weights. (Photography by Matthew W. Guthrie, used by permission)

How adorable is this garden gnome? Donna Strader, of Cedar Park, Tx, knitted this little guy's body with Bashful Armadillo's Bluebonnet Fingering yarn from the Texas Wildflower Collection. Could he be any cuter!? She combined two patterns. The body, Gnome Pun Intended, and the hat, Nice to Gnome You, both by Sarah Schira with Imagined Landscapes. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/gnome-pun-intended

Cindy Hays of Corpus Christi, Tx knit up these gorgeous socks from her own pattern with Bashful Armadillo yarn, Indian Paintbrush, from the Texas Wildflowers Collection. We are loving these so much!

We ran into Lauren R of North Carolina at the Yellow Rose on the Coast Fiber Festival and had to get a picture of her hat knitted with Bashful Armadillo yarn, Cadillac Ranch, from the Texas Attractions Collection. This is the Musselburgh Hat by Ysolda Teague, available on Ravelry, https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/musselburgh . Awesome hat, Lauren!

Megan Womble of San Antonio, TX picked up Bashful Armadillo's Winter Solstice and Oh, Wine Knot! at the 2021 Texas Fleece and Fiber Festival and got right on to crocheting this stunning cowl. It's so flattering! Both yarns are 100% Superwash Extrafine Merino in Worsted/Aran weight. Megan used the Monroe Cowl pattern by A Knotty Habit, available on Ravelry at https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/monroe-cowl-2

This fade top, knitted by Jan Oakley of Montgomery, Tx, brings together five very different Bashful Armadillo fingering yarns -- Gulf Coast, Modern Skein (a custom yarn for a shop in Montgomery by the same name), Big Bend Country, Painted Desert and Iridescence!

Greens and Purples together are a favorite combination at Bashful Armadillo. So when we found this project on Ravelry, we had to get permission to show it off here. Elizabeth Forester of Bedford, Tx knitted this beautiful brioche scarf with our yarns, Heard it Through the Grapevine and Succulent Garden. She used the pattern Deflection by Carissa Browning, available on Ravelry at https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/deflection. Stunning, Elizabeth!

How awesome are these?! Kaberle McCord of Unraveled - The Chic Yarn Boutique in San Antonio, knitted these up in Bashful Armadillo Fingering yarn, Chocolate Fountain. The detail is stunning. The pattern is Cornish Cream Tea Socks by Helen Stewart and available on Ravelry at https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cornish-cream-tea-socks. Beautiful job, Kaberle!
