This week brought some nice new colors of Baby Alpaca Grande
And Inca Tweed.
Both are on my list of favorite chunky yarns for accessories of all sorts.
We also received a couple brand new yarns. Shinroyoku from Noro is a nicely tweedy wool/silk blend in an aran – heavy worsted weight,
just right for a plain top-down cardigan that won’t bore you while you’re knitting it or while you’re wearing it. The color changes are blended instead of stark and will be easy to wear and pleasant to look at.
Herriott Fine from Juniper Moon Farm is a beautiful blend of alpaca and nylon in a fingering weight. It would make a luxurious pair of (hand-wash) socks, but would also be yummy for shawls, sweaters, mitts, hats – anything you can think of, really. I ordered five wonderful natural shades – a gradient design would work beautifully with these!
Stella Luna is finished! It started with one of these:
became this:
then this:
and now this:
It’s a large shawl and pretty as can be!
I’m finishing up some other (smaller) things and so happy my decks are cleared for the next project. Not sure what that will be but I love having so many possibilities. Next week I hope to show you finished projects from our beloved customers. Bring yours in for photos!
Jack is still recovering from his surgery, mostly because it was in a tricky spot (his tushy) so don’t make fun of him if he’s wearing a makeshift diaper this week. We do what we must to get him healed!
