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.
New notions including this new Chibi set
and some jumbo locking stitch markers, needle case, and circular holder.
We also stocked up on allhemp6 colors.
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.
The Pretty in Punk book is here!
For those of who who like to rock… we salute you.

Hello guys and gals, the kpixie receiving area was overloaded with new items. We have new patterns coming tomorrow by a couple of new indie designers, but for now I show you the new yarns that I had the pleasure of photographing last night (maybe a few skeins “fell” into my knitting bag while doing so.)
New Blue Sky Alpacas!!! woo hoo!
4 new colors in Alpaca Silk: colors 142, 143, 144 and 146
Here’s a wicked close-up of one of the new colors, drool over the texture, I dare you.
The Skinny Cotton and Skinny Organic that Wendy has been talking about have also made their way to kpixie.
There are also 4 new Blue Sky Alpaca patterns, they are on the top of the list on the patterns page.
Sockotta by Plymouth. 6 colors, 3 different effects.
A blend of cotton, wool, nylon makes it a non-itch knit.

sorry for the long wait!

Three new colors of Gossamer are in stock, and they are on sale!
An awesome green and purple with iridescent sparkle, and a white that is very romantic looking, would be great for quick Bridesmaids scarves. Or how about adding some to your next spinning project?
Okay knitters and crocheters, it’s back to work for me. Have fun shopping.

hello from kpixie world headquarters! ;-)
Its been busy since the last time I wrote. We moved the kpixie website to a more powerful server and updated our shopping cart software. So you might notice faster browsing and a new layout. It took many lady-hours to get it going and we hope you enjoy kpixie 2.0 as much as we do. So, here are some things I MUST show you that flew under the radar while doing website work.
First up, my absolute new favorite yarn, Karabella Merino Superwash.
This yarn knits up as a worsted or aran weight, it has a very subtle sheen, duller than Aurora 8, which is good. Has a mild merino halo and the twist is just gorgeous. Jessica’s daughter knit this yarn into mittens as a dk weight and they look so great. A totally versatile SUPERWASH merino, love it.
I’ve so far made two hats with this yarn.
Both of them cabled beauties, my favorite hats to date.

Next up is Karabella Lace Merino, in which we have have 5 more colors coming this week.
You want 255 yarns of fingering weight merino at a great price point??
You got it! Gorgeous colors, perfect twist, great for lace shawls and socks alike.
HiyaHiya is here!
These needles are great, tried them for the first time at TNNA this June.
The stainless circulars are at a great price and the joins are close to perfect. The bamboo double points are impregnated with resin to keep even the small sizes strong. We’ve got more sizes and styles coming, don’t be afraid to ask us to order a size you need!
Browse the needles category to find the HiyaHiya’s you’re looking for.
Also, we’ve got some Mama Llama hand painted in stock!

Tilli Tomas Aspen is here!
This yarn is a mystery, I don’t understand how Tilli Tomas created a merino yarn that feels like a cross between cashmere and angora… It’s a very stunning yarn.
Great for small projects like hats, scarves, mittens, baby items. And awesome for sweaters too. Next-to-the-skin wearable.
It’s sister yarn, Flurries, in in the queue for photography… hold tight!
And here is a photo of the Blue Sky Alpacas Suri Merino
super up close, click for a larger view!
The above two yarns are a great addition to the shop, one ply knitting at its best.

So, with that being said, go grab a skein!
