Happy Holidays from Yarns on First!
What a rainy start to this holiday season! Perfect knitting/crocheting weather!! We have been busy around the shop readying for the holidays, hanging twinkly lights, making felted gingerbread ornaments and knitting up gifts. 
 
Marcie has started a scarf with some of the Rowan Glamour, in the gorgeous Smoke colorway. It is so lovely and would make a perfect gift for a special someone. 
 
We are very excited about some beautiful new yarn we just received from the Fibre Company. Acadia is a 2-ply yarn with a rustic look and soft hand. A subtle tweed effect created by the silk noil is combined with a heathered base and then overdyed in the duotones, creating incredible depth of color. Each skein is 145 yards, with a conten of 60% merino wool, 20% baby alpaca + 20% silk.
 
We  love this Knitbot pattern featuring Acadia. 
 
The Schoodic Cardigan looks like the perfect
winter project!     
 
Also on our list is the Quaking Aspen Shawl, a free pattern offered by the Fiber Company. Whose up for a January KAL?
 
 
 
 

 

 




The Avery Cowl, another free pattern showcases the duotones and texture of the Acadia perfectly.
