New for the last day in January

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.

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.
