While they *all* look like winners, we are especially taken with the colour-blocked and mix-and-match lace and chevron patterns in this issue!

New This Month

As our motto goes, always something new. Here's what came through the doors the last few weeks.

Coming in 8 colours, this 50% alpaca,

25% mulberry silk, 25% linen blend is sure to please the luxury seeker in you. Yardage is generous at 125 meters/136 yards per 50 grams, and it knits up to a true DK gauge of 22 stitches/4 inches.

(over 65 at last count!)

The vitals are 100% superwash merino wool, 182 meters/200 yards per 100 grams, and 18-20 stitches/4 inches
