New Yarn

 

We have so much new yarn just streaming in the door, that our back room is nigh-unnavigable. While this is certainly a good problem to have, it means that we can only share a few choice favourites in this newsletter (you'll have to check out the website or come visit us to see all the rest).

 

Also, some of the yarns are so new that our webstore is still catching up, so if there's something you're interested in, be sure to check back often for updates!

 


Lana Grossa Alta Moda
Lana Grossa OlympiaLana Grossa Olympia Gold

  

Lana Grossa Alta Moda: 80% wool, 20% cashmere (mmm, cashmere), this bulky 12st yarn is sure to knit up quick, and the chained construction will have great wear.


 

Lana Grossa Olympia: Super bulky (and we are talking SUPER bulky), perfect for quick projects, and a great range of colours.


 

Lana Grossa Olympia Gold: A sister yarn to Lana Grossa Olympia. Also, receive a complimentary pattern book with purchase of a project worth of yarn.

 



Spincycle
Dyed in the Wool

Habu Cotton Gima


 

Classic Elite Villa: Villa is a fingering weight 70/30 alpaca/bamboo blend that is sure to be a soothing knit, in 8 lovely colours.

 

Spincycle Dyed in the Wool: 100% Blue Faced Leicester (BFL) sportweight. Handspun, hand-dyed, completely unique.

 

Habu Cotton Gima: Only some of the massive restock of Habu that we just received. If you've never worked with Habu, you're missing out on a very unique experience.

 



Sublime Superfine Alapaca DK

 

Malabrigo Mecha: Another bulky yarn, this 100% merino from Malabrigo is flying off the shelves. The colours have to be seen to be believed.

 

Sublime Superfine Alpaca DK + book: Available in six classic, understated colours, the newest yarn from Sublime is... well... sublime. And there is a classy book to match!
