Now for another edition of "more new yarn". We know you love to see the new offerings and we love to show you. So here is the newest of the mouth watering temptations.
This is
Misti Alpaca Tonos Worsted. The name says it all. Misti is well known for their super soft yarn and amazing colors. A 50% baby alpaca and 50% merino wool blend with tonal colors in a worsted weight ... WOW!
Fresco from
Classic Elite is a beautiful fine gauge yarn that is perfect for color work. 60% wool, 30% baby alpaca, and 10% angora. This yarn will really show off your textured stitches and bless your hands with softness as it runs through your fingers.
St Denis 100% wool yarn distributed by
Classic Elite is lite sport weight that knits on 2.5 to size 6 needles. To compliment a really nice yarn we have also added the magazine/pattern booklet. Veronik Avery, commissioned by St Denis to do the design work, has done a sweet job of creating a compilation of works including: hats, gloves, shawl, sweaters, vests and even dolls.
Malibrigo Twist! I'm not sure where to start ... I'm sitting here holding a skein of the
Paris Night ... what a rich color and in 100% baby merino wool ... it's "pet-able". No wonder it's going so fast ... don't worry there's more on the way.
We also wanted to let you know that
Dream in Color,
Classy (superwash merino) &
Smooshy Sock (superwash Merino) will be here in a week or so. Plus we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of new yarn from
Knitting Fever by
Mirasol. This company has a great yarn and a great story about how they participate in "fair trade communities "and graciously give back to those communities to build schools and churches. More on this when the yarns arrive.
