Where Shall We Put All This??

1 Posted by - October 5, 2016 - New Yarns

This is the question Karen and I ask every day as more new yarn is delivered!  We think we can’t stuff one more skein onto our shelves, but somehow, it happens.

As fall progresses and our classes take off, I find myself with less time than I like for writing to you all, so a quick update on just a few of our newest yarns:

Some pretty new colors of Opal sock yarn:

Noro’s newest yarn Tennen, a blend of wool, alpaca and silk, that subtly changes value instead of color, in beautiful neutrals.  It would be a wonderful yarn for a simple stockinette cardigan, full of texture and interest all on its own.

Criss Cross by Isabell Kraemer

or the simplest of the simple, Top-Down Cardigan by Knitting Pure and Simple

We received a delightful shipment of Fibre Company yarns, always favorites. Just look at these rich new shades of Acadia:

Version 2

Acadia’s lovely hand and texture make it appropriate for many things.  I have a (and would love another) pullover in it – it’s definitely next-to-the skin material – but have dancing dreams of Churchmouse’s Easy Folded Poncho in a rich autumn shade:

or their new Library Vest in a studious neutral, also in stock:

So much more yarn, so little time to tell you about it!  Come see for yourself:
