New Stuff
Bazinga from Plymouth
Quick knitting, thick & thin, self striping wool/acrylic blend with a super cute name. How fun is that?! Great for quick gifts or something just for you. I've written a couple of free patterns with Bazinga - a cowl and some mitts. Read further for more info.
---------------------------------------------
Galway Chunky from Plymouth
This plain vanilla yarn is so much more than plain. This is the chunky version of Galway, one of our favorite basics here at Double Ewe. 100% wool and very versatile, use it for hats, mittens, scarves, sweaters, and it also felts very well. Today I'm showing you the creamy white
(you know...vanilla), but I've got it in nine more colors, and I'll be adding more as we go.
-----------------------------------------------
DeAire from Plymouth
You've got to squish this one. Really. It's 100% fine merino wool in a "chain" construction. What this does for you is make a super chunky yarn that knits up very quickly but makes a fabric that is as light as air. Yum. The mittens below? They took me just a couple of hours. Quick.
---------------------------------------------
Baby Alpaca Brush from Plymouth
Gorgeous and soft baby alpaca in a lovely brushed yarn. This one knits at a gauge of about 3 1/2 stitches per inch. It has a nice, fuzzy look like some of the mohair yarns, but much softer, no itch.
---------------------------------------------
DK Merino Superwash from Plymouth
Of all the new yarns for the season, this one is probably my favorite. It's a high-twist, 100% merino wool and it's machine washable. The high twist makes it sproingy and durable, and the wool makes it nice and warm. This is just a few of the colors - I've got thirteen altogether. If you read on, you'll see a free pattern for a slouch hat I've written - knit one up!
--------------------------------------------
Swing Hooks from Addi
These cool-looking hooks were designed to be ultra comfortable. They're made of two different plastics - one colorful and soft, the other white and firm. The two balance eachother perfectly for just the right amount of flexibility. That's one swingin' hook!

Fiber Art Almanac 2012
The 2012 Fiber Art Almanac has arrived, and I think you'll love it even more than the last one! This year's almanac features beautiful photography and stories of some inspiring fiber artists and their work, as did last year's Almanac. However, the 2012 Almanac also includes six delightful, easy to knit patterns - three scarves, a cowl, a shawl, and even some cute bookworms! What's even better, is the price has actually come down. How much more fun can a planner get?!
