Purlescence

Matchy Matchy

Looking through patterns yesterday we realized that Chic Knits' Miss BB pattern is the perfect feminine counterpart to Lisa Knits' Like Father Like Son which we're knitting for all our guys. So Tony, Kevin, & Scott will all be getting LFLSs in Cascade 220 Superwash; Sandi, Kaye, & Nathania will all knit Miss BB in Cascade Greenland. These should make for a great family portrait!

Art & Fiber

Brand new yarns have arrived from Abstract Fiber. This is our selection of Miro, a worsted weight superwash merino. We're awaiting the patterns for the hat and mitt that they sent us as samples.

Cutest Little Carder Ever!

Ashford's newest drum carder is this dainty portable tool, the Wild Carder. Adjustable to accommodate all kinds of fibers, this is ideal for creating mixed media batts. Add silk, noils, ribbons, synthetic fibers, all kinds of wacky stuff. It weighs under 8 lbs and has built in storage for the doffer and cleaning brush. All this for only $395. We include a one hour lesson with the purchase of any drum carder. Also in stock, Ashford's standard drum carder, offered at $445.

When the weather turns chilly, we want soft, cozy things to wrap up in. A couple weeks ago we saw Marge, our Crystal Palace rep. She showed us a kimono style sweater she was knitting in CP's Merino Frappe and we couldn't stop petting it. So light and so warm. We thought you might like it too.

When it came in yesterday we started playing with color and texture combinations for our Three Yarn Scarf pattern. Here's two colors of the Merino Frappe, one colorway in Mochi Plus, and two colors of Cascade's Baby Alpaca Chunky. Delectable! Look for a new sample soon!

Mmm, new colors of Cascade Pastaza

Look at the lovely new colors of Cascade Pastaza.  Ask Sandi how often she wears her Pastaza sweater.  This yarn is a blend of wool and llama. It is super warm and lofty, so it's a dream to wear.
