YAY! The beaded version of Tilli Tomas Milan is here.
This super soft merino and cashmere yarn is great for trim, scarves, garments and more. Baby items would be sure cute and fun too.
Have you ever needed small amounts of wool for trim?
Needed a small ball to knit some fair isle into a sweater?
These mini balls of wool are for you! We have 5 colorways to choose from, you can order one ball at a time or all colors in the colorway.
We have 10 NEW COLORS of St-Denis Nordique including the above great Fall shades. This yarn has that classic wool look and feel, a great sport to DK weight yarn for any project.
Tilli Tomas Angel is a new beaded mohair blend that is great for quick accessories. Try this free pattern or grab a skein or two for a fast weekend project.

Classic Elite and St-Denis
This is Portland Tweed. A nice light worsted tweed yarn with the addition of alpaca and viscose for softness. Use it as a substitute for those itchy tweed yarns!
We also have Lush and Classic One Fifty, with MANY MORE COLORS coming soon.

And (drum roll)… St-Denis is here!
We only received 7 colors so far, more are on their way because it is made in the USA and something at the mill broke, and the popularity of the line is overwhelming.
The Nordique yarn is SO great, a new favorite of mine.
Perfect for: fair isle, crisp lace stitch patterns, cables, and more.
100% wool and has a 36 color palette of perfection.
The yarn and pattern book is by Veronik Avery.
Take a peek at some of the patterns in the premier issue pattern booklet.

In other news, we had some Tilli Tomas yarn on sale last week, it flew out the door. Thanks for your purchases and enjoy the discounted Tilli, a rare thing.
I was going through my stash and thinking about knitting up all the samples that we have.. well, the ones I haven’t knitted up yet anyway ;-) . I started out with the samples for Spud and Chloe, the Sweater yarn that arrived all looped up on pencils, very cute. But even cuter is knitting the colors up into a mini-scarf.
It’s amazing how well ALL the colors look good together!
Next up is the Tilli Tomas Symphony-Kid Lace with beads, a super kid mohair blend with a metallic thread and beads. The photo doesn’t do it justice, AT ALL. But my little fish wanted to be in the shot, haha.

This sample of garter stitch was knit up on US 4 needles.
Fluffy, soft, and the beads as a nice weight to it.
On US 4 needles it knits up nice and tight for a sweater, or use larger needles for a scarf or shawl.
Coming up next: Habu yarns with the new SWTC Xie yarn, a new ultimate favorite.

SWTC Xie 10/2 bamboo
A brand new lace weight bamboo yarn!
It’s called Xie 10/2 bamboo
These cones of ultra-thin yarn are so cute and so versatile. Knits as a laceweight with US 1 to US 4 needles (depending on the pattern and desired result) or combine them together with other yarns to use with Skif patterns.
Any way your heart desires, this soft and silky bamboo is awesome.
Here are some photos:
Look at the SHINE!
you can see in this one that I wound just a small amount from the brown cone (compare the diameter to the yellow cone)
and here you can see the size of the wound Xie compared to a ball of Habu Cotton Gima.
