Is spring finally here?

The nice weather has finally arrived.

I am starting to order our yarns for fall. You are going to see less of what I call 'frou frou' yarns and more of the basics. Lots of self-striping. Lots and lots of mohair. Many exotic natural fibers like cashmere and alpaca.


New sock yarn

Lang is introducing a great new program for sock knitters. Every 6 weeks we will receive 6 colours (10-100gram balls of each colour). Each month is different from the last. There are different stripes, patterns or combinations of both.

Once the colour is gone, we can't reorder. We will be receiving shipments the on the following dates:

  • June 5
  • July 31
  • September 4
  • October 2
  • October 30
  • December 4


Get out your Noro books

I saw the new Noro for fall this afternoon. Amazing. There are 2 new yarns as well as new colours of the existing yarns. There will be a pattern book from Jane Ellison as well as the Noro patterns.

By the end of May we should have a new shipment of Noro Kureyon and Silk Garden. There are 8 new colours for each yarn. The shade cards that I have linked here are the current ones and don't include the new shades-I can't find them anywhere on the internet.

There is one thing to remember if you like the Noro yarns. Our supplier receives limited number of shipments from Japan. The yarn comes by sea (takes a long time) and Noro can only produce a certain amount. When we run out of a colour it can take months before it is back in stock.


Why not start your fall knitting now?
harm

Great cabled sweater for a man or woman. You could even knit matching sweaters for you and your loved one. If you don't like the buttons at the neck a shawl collar version is also on the pattern.

Harmony-100% pure New Zealand Merino, from Naturally, is in the store. This is available in 10ply (worsted weight) or 8ply (double knitting weight). You can use either yarn for the pattern.
