summer yarn

Wow, summer is really flying by already.  We’re seeing Fall previews that are making the needles jump off the shelf.

Here are some summer ideas to take advantage of the cotton, linen, and silk before the Fall and Winter ideas start taking up room in our knitting baskets.

We have a whole list of great summer yarns right here, with photos!

  The Shell Border Tee is a great knit, great price.

  The Lace Tank is perfect for hot weather.

  The Mystique Shawl is just gorgeous.

  The Cotton Summer Wrap is always a huge hit.

We also have 7 new colors of BSA Skinny Cotton.

I cannot believe I have not yet added the new Loop-d-Loop to the blog!
What was I thinking?

These new all-weather yarns are great cotton blends to fill in that gap of “I like cotton, but don’t like knitting with it.”  And the pattern collection is amazing.

The new yarn called Birch is a cotton and silk blend that must be touched to be believed. It reminds of Cashmere Canapa, a very soft feel for a cotton blend.

river-for-blog.jpg River is a worsted weight soft cotton that knits up light as a feather. Great Spring colors!

And here are just a few samples of the ultra cool patterns in Volume 2!

New yarns and some notions

lacampo-for-blog.jpg New yarn from Karabella!

This is Lacampo, a DK weight dehaired llama and cotton blend. The fluff of this yarn must be touched in order to really appreciate this yarn. Has a nice halo and beautiful drape! We will have the other 6 colors in about 3 weeks from now. Use for any pattern calling for a dk weight cotton blend, especially those patterns that call for a cashmere/cotton, this yarn is WAY less expensive.

chibi.jpgNew notions including this new Chibi set
and some jumbo locking stitch markers, needle case, and circular holder.

allhemp6-aubergine.jpg hemp6-chocolate.jpg hemp6-periwinkle.jpg
We also stocked up on allhemp6 colors.

tilli-sqlace-rubywine.jpg Tilli Tomas Sequin and Beaded Lace!
We have very limited stock, one of each color. But will be getting more soon! These skeins have been on backorder at Tilli Tomas for a while now, a real hot item. But new colors will soon be making the rounds at kpixie.

punkknits4.jpgThe Pretty in Punk book is here!
For those of who who like to rock… we salute you.
