 Hi knitters, so much to tell you this week. The fall arrivals of knitting yarn continue … one of the biggest is a huge shipment of Plymouth’s Galway. We are going to use this as one of our staples for all those projects that need a reasonably priced yarn (compare to Cascade 220). It is also feltable. We used to carry it ages ago, and the color palette was pretty limited back then, but my how it’s grown. Anyway, we have lots, loads and heaps, so if you need a sweaters worth, a throws worth, or a felted clog and a halfs worth, we have it. We also have lots more colors of Plymouth’s wonderful Superwash Merino Worsted … this is proving to be one of my favorite yarns, especially now that it is available in Superwash Merino DK as well. We just love it. We also love Mini Mochi from Crystal Palace … Chunky, and Plus. It makes for a great shawl, socks or again, because it is a superwash, it’s great for baby things. Come on in and see all the new knitting yarn. |
Riveting – wholly absorbing or engrossing one’s attention and fascination – that definitely defines the Riveting Yarn from Kollage that arrived at Wool and Company this week.
We received Kollage’s Riveting Yarn and Patterns, with all the colors in both worsted and sport weights and I have to say, even though I have not knitted with it yet, I am loving all this jeansy goodness. Made from recycled denim jeans, it is super soft and has the look that you get from a pair that has been around for years and is all soft and worn and the waistband has softened up enough to accommodate most of your muffin-top. You know the ones I mean. Any way, it is good stuff and the supporting patterns are excellent too.
We also got some of their great square needles for socks, very comfy to hold and nice to your hands.
Just arrived – it’s new to us, we just got in some Kauni Effektgarn … and some wonderful double knitting patterns that make the very best of it.
We’ve got more new stuff coming and there’s a survey that you can answer.
