Dibdin


If you haven't been in to see Cirrus, a super-soft and lightweight mohair blend from Berroco, you really should. We're so impressed with how light and lofty this yarn is and not a hint of itch!

Berroco has created this fun, free pattern, Dibdin, a hat in an easy openwork stitch pattern that can be knit up with only two skeins.

A Bounty of Beauty

We have had new yarn just flooding in lately. Last week we got our latest shipment of Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light and Vintage. This shipment contained several new colorways and we now have over 20 colors in Vintage!

Today we got our first yarn from The Periwinkle Sheep in upstate New York. The dyer visited our shop last month and we couldn't resist her beautiful colors. We now have her 80/10/10 Merino/Cashmere/Nylon blend called Sock Dream. It is squishy and delicious. This will make decadent socks, smooshy scarves and shawls or a luxurious sweater.
