Handspun Ideas

I was wandering around the yarn today and picked up some handspun…
There are some perfect color matches in the Karaoke yarn!

If you ever need an opinion on color matching the yarns we carry, email me and I’ll photograph them together for you!

More Customer Knits!

This is Picasso the cat with a new Spunky Eclectic merino scarf!
Sue says everyone has remarked on how soft the yarn is.

Tiffany knit Clapotis with Karaoke, isn’t it gorgeous?!
She used 6 skeins on US 7 needles.

Jennifer made the “Veste Everest” pattern from IK fall ‘05
with Blue Sky Alpacas Cotton. What a dream vest, perfect for Autumn.

No No Kitty and della Q

We now carry No No Kitty yarns! The Alpaca Lace is SO soft…

I also forgot to tell you about the new della Q bags.
Here is my favorite one… holds 4 large skeins of wool and more!

The bags feature interior pockets and wood or metal handles.
The silk colors change color in the sunlight, so cool.
And you can’t beat the prices! “Not your grandma’s knitting bag” …
… or maybe it is! I bet any grandma would love one of these bags for xmas!
