We also have a few new colors in Fil de la Mer. This silk and seacell fiber blend has a muted sheen compared to the 100% silk yarns.

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 Tilli Tomas yarns!

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.

Also, I just finished a lacy scarf pattern for Disco Lights, it will be free with any Tilli Tomas purchase. This yarn was SO much fun to knit with… and the sequins are surprisingly comfortable to wear around the neck. Love it!


The new Blue Sky patterns are here!! woo hoo! The silk shrug pattern is way cool, saw it at TNNA and drooled all over the BSA girls ;-) Four more new patterns coming….

We also stocked up on Alpaca & Silk and some popular cottons.
