Interweave Knits Winter 2012  

From Greenview Valley Farm in Crandon, WI, we received a shipment of dark brown LLama Wool - hand carded fiber for thrumming and spinning. Llamas produce a natural, soft, luxury fiber. The unique hollow core fiber structure accounts for its remarkable warmth and insulating properties. It is lightweight, sheds rain and snow. 

Romance 6-ply sock yarn from Opal in an assortment of colors. Each skein is 150 grams, enough sport weight yarn to make a pair of socks or a infant sweater. The same blend of 75% wool and 25% nylon that they use for their sock yarn. This yarn is durable, easy care and fun to knit.  

Tiny Toes in 50 grams hanks from Interlacements. This beautiful, 100% merino wool is glorious!
