Rowan Pure Wool Worsted

So we like the classics, but sometimes a thing comes along that is just as good as, if not better than, the original. Rowan recently launched their 'pure wool worsted', a worsted weight, superwash, 100% wool yarn that comes in all the shades of the rainbow. Seriously, 50 (FIFTY) colours! And we have them all. We're just into things like that.


Colour aside, this yarn is great value, at 200m/219yds for $10.95. That is tough to beat. I think I've found my new go-to sweater, blanket, cowl, mitten, hat... I mean, my new go-to yarn.

Come ogle the colours in store, or look at all the gorgeous colours online.

Pattern Suggestions

And to ensure that you don't just get overwhelmed with your colour options and stagger off without a pattern, here's a few we think you might enjoy.

Stitch Block Cowl by Purl Soho

Colour! Texture! What's not to like? And a quick knit to boot.
(available online)

Vivid Blanket by Tin Can Knits

A bit of a larger project than the cowl, but you can use even more colours! Oh I want one for my bed.
(available in store or online)

Eyelet Raglan by Katya Frankel

This elegant pullover is out of the latest Knit Wear magazine, and would be beautiful worked in one of the heathered colourways. 
(available in store)

Pocket Monkey

Ok, this one is a bit goofy, but we couldn't pass it up. The Pocket Monkey is a 12-in-1 tool that fits into your wallet. Seems like something a roaming knitter shouldn't be without.
(available online or in store)



(Please note that inventory levels may vary between stores) 

Cascadia Trunk Show Reminder



We would also like to remind everyone that this Saturday, February 8th, from 11-2 we will be hosting the Cascadia Trunk Show in Point Grey. This is a stellar opportunity to try on some lovely samples, meet the designers, and just shmooze in general!

For more information, check out our blog post.
