Hi there!

We received a few goodies this week that we wanted to tell you about. Happy knitting and crocheting! Please stop in and show us what you've been working on.

Our first shipment of Brown Sheep Lambs Pride yarn arrived in worsted and bulky weights. This wool-mohair blend yarn is terrific for all kinds of projects including felting projects. We just love the bright springy colors, especially the ‘stripey’ colors. And, just in case you’re wondering…we will still continue to stock the all-wool Cascade 220.
We have Lambs Pride knit up in two projects from the 101 Designer One Skein Wonders book: Two Hour Handbag (in bulky) and Kat’s Hat (in worsted). Isn’t the I-cord tail on the hat adorable?

Several new colors of Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino are now on the shelves. Just in – more ecru, dusty pink, lilac, and chocolate. Just think about the fun color combinations for stripes. If you are searching for a special handknit wee person project, then you should definitely page through our collection of Debbie Bliss pattern books. The designs are timeless and will surely become treasured heirlooms.
We now have 6 colors Sirdar's Crofter DK -- a super-soft tapestry patterning cotton-wool-acrylic blend. This yarn is perfect for projects for all ages and shown in the Crofter DK pattern booklet. Our favorite mini project: leg warmers for little ones!! Just imagine how simple diaper changing will be during warmer months when the little one is wearing a tee, a diaper, and handknit legwarmer! Wee Warmers by Knitting at Knoon contains three different designs and will use 1-2 skeins of yarn.
