We have yet again rearranged More new things in for your yarn addiction have arrived and have made it out of the back room. Lots of glorious colors and textures to touch. Queensland makes a lovely yarn from Sugar cane called Sugarush a Drapey, soft, fingering weight will make something sumptuous for spring. Also from Queensland is a fabulous cotton soy blend called Cotsoy that has the hand of a luxury yarn. Absolutely loved working with it. Great color pallet as well. Debbie Bliss Prima, merino and bamboo is very nice too and the pattern support in the new Debbie Bliss magazine for this yarn is good.
Another new yarn for us is from Debbie Bliss called Rialto dk, it's a super wash extra fine merino and there is a great book of patterns available to go with it. New Cashmerino Baby colors are in as well. Finally a red. We have stocked up on NORO too and have more colors to choose from in the Kockoran and Kureyon, silk garden and silk garden dk. There is a new yarn called Taiyo in fabulous bright kid colors. It's a wool, cotton, silk and nylon blend, chunky weight, really fun. We have also let the Mission Falls 1824 cotton out of the back room for the spring and summer. All the patterns for the wool are interchangeable in the cotton.
Woolworks news for October
This is the time of year when knitters and crocheters think about the holidays and what they can make for loved ones. We have lots of ideas for you. Many new yarns for the season are arriving weekly if not daily. Here's the short list:
Cricket from Reynolds is a 52% rayon/48% wool, 5 sts/inch on a 5. (dk). This has a lovely subtle sheen and the rayon adds a nice touch and drape.
Marble now is available in baby colors in dk weight as well. Nice colors in all varieties, yardage is great and the price even better, wash and dry acrylic.
Kertzer Northern worsted acrylic machine wash/dry. 16 colors.
Kertzer Northern chunky acrylic, machine wash/dry, 8 colors.
Mission Falls 136 dk merino. Love this stuff. 14 fabulous colors.
Lana loft from BrownSheep is a 100% wool worsted/aran in 3 natural colors. Many more available. Ask to see the color cards.
Paradise from Nashua, 48% wool/40% baby alpaca/4%nylon. worsted weight in 7 lovely jeweltone colors.
On-Line supersock 100, 420 meters of sweet self patterning yarn so everyone can think you worked really hard on those socks. Wonderful colors, 8 to choose from.
New needle cases from Lantern Moon. Gorgeous silks.
Mini Mochi sock yarn from Crystal Palace is a very fun brighter self striping yarn with just a little more 'wooly-ness' for those that love winter socks. Fingering weight 195 yds and 12 colors to choose from. Makes a great hat or baby surprise sweater as well.
MMMMMM Malabrigo...chunky, worsted and sock! Yummy colors all here for the touching. Have to touch this stuff. This is a very popular yarn and hard to get from Uraquay. The fantasic cabled poncho in the window is made from this by Kim Mitchell. It's like wearing your favorite blanket.
Just in this week, to add to the chunky or bulky section, is Lei, a very nice merino. Come check out the super chunky, fast knit, cabled scarf/wrap. This is very soft and warm not to mention the latest in the fashion magazines.
We have a class on the jacket/kimono that I had published in the latest Knit N Style magazine. This is on Friday nights 6-8pm. There is still room.
