New In The Store

Even though it's hot and sunny out there, our fall inventory is starting to roll into the store. Here's what has arrived so far:
  • Abode, a worsted-weight wool from Berroco. The super-soft, single-ply yarn undergoes an unusual dye process that sprays color unevenly onto natural-colored wool, producing a tweedy effect when knit up.
  • Kenzie, a terrific all-around yarn that combines New Zealand Merino wool, angora, nylon, alpaca and silk. The colors are softly heathered and it knits up at 5 stitches an inch.
  • Luxair Print. The lovely Luxair combo of alpaca and metallic glints now comes in colors as well as natural shades.
  • Double-wides, new supersized needle cases from Namaste. They come in bright shades of red, orange, lime and turquoise and have room for all your circulars and more.
