And of course I had to place an order right away for all of the colors  ;-)

Six colors to choose from, great fiber blend.

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 is a worsted weight soft cotton that knits up light as a feather. Great Spring colors!

SHIPMENT OF LORNA’S LACES SHEPHERD WORSTED
  
plenty of colors to choose from, view them all here

 and Kusha Kusha scarf kits are back in stock!

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.
