We have fallen in love with this pattern – especially when it’s knitted in our beautiful Araucania Azapa yarn. The fiber contents of this yarn is 30% alpaca, 45% merino, 15% silk and 10% donegal. We’ve also knitted this project in worsted weight mohair! Classes are filling up, so visit our website calendar to see if there’s a class that fits your schedule.
As with all Noro yarns, Furisode is brilliant with color and everything knitted, crocheted, and in this case – using the Broomstick Lace Technique – is really pretty. Made from silk, cotton and wool, Furisode is very soft to the touch.
Bulky is in! If you want to knit a hat in about an hour, this is the yarn for you. The colors are magnificent. Madison knit this hat in a very short time!! But hats aren’t the only things this yarn is great for – come see Hope’s beautiful wrap in the shop.
The explosion of color in our new spring and summer yarns makes all of us want to party. Colors of daffodils, tulips, pansies and fresh green grass. That’s what you’ll find when you walk into the shop.
Araucania’s Ruca and Ruca Multi made from 100% sugar cane feels lusciously soft and cool to the touch. Cascade’s new Ultra Pima – 100% Pima Cotton – 220 yards and at an unbelievable cost! Katia’s Tobago with a long run print in fun bright summer colors. Numerous pattern books have arrived to make selecting your next project with these and the rest of our yarns so easy.
Our sale of 20% and higher on beautiful yarns will continue through 5pm on December 31st. We had originally planned to close at noon on New Year’s Eve but due to the huge interest in our sale, we’ve extended our hours to 5pm.
If Vogue Knitting is right, hats will be a hot item this fall and winter.
I’m making the one pictured here out of the fabulous Mericash Solid in the slate blue pictured below #401.
If it turns out for me as well as it did for Vogue Knitting, everyone’s going to want one for seasonal gift giving.
We’ll make plenty of kits in a variety of colors and offer classes for those who don’t know how to use double-pointed needles.
What fun!
