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.

We also received a shipment
of Goose Pond Stitch markers,
sorry for the long wait!
We’ve got small, medium and large.
We can no longer offer up individual colors, but if there is a color you just NEED to have, let us know in the comments section at checkout and we will see what we can do for you.

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.

The new yarn Suri Merino is here!
Blue Sky Alpacas created a new one ply yarn that is all of these things:
super soft, gorgeous halo, a nice heavy weight to the yarn for a great drape, amazing colors, luxury fibers, and it’s a dk weight!
And all of this in large 100 gram skeins.
here are my four favorite colors
So, with that being said, go grab a skein!
We also received four new colors of Blue Sky Alpacas Melange.
(scroll to the bottom of that page, its the last 4 on the list)
.
We also have the new Noni pattern in stock,
with the Tilli Tomas yarn for the trim.

The new Tilli Tomas yarns came in!
The Voile de la Mer was on my list of must-knit-with, a laceweight yarn in a blend of silk and seacell. Tilli Tomas has done it again, a great addition to her line of hand dyed yarns. The look and feel of this yarn reminds me of heirloom shawls and knitted lace. Glides smooth on the needles, a slight halo of seacell to fluff up the stitches, gorgeous colors in muted tones and brights.
Here are some skeins of the new laceweight yarn, Voile de la Mer
We also have Plie and Fil de la Mer.
They both knit up at the same gauge and have a similar look,
but one is 100% silk and the other is a silk and Seacell blend.
And the Trapeze Jacket pattern by Stitch Diva is in stock!
We’ve got a kit in the Elsie yarn, click above.
