New Yarn

We have just received some very interesting new yarn from Zitron called Fil a Fil. It is basically a fun-fur yarn with differing coloured "flags" added. We used just one ball to knit a scarf 3 inches wide by 56 inches long on 10 mm needles, 10 stitches and garter stitch throughout. As you can see the colours are just beautiful. A great small project to take with you while travelling.

What about those socks!

We have received a new shipment of Trekking sock yarn in the wildest colours. Trekking is a very high quality yarn, 75% wool and 25% man-made fibre (for wear). The socks can be washed in the washing machine but should be dried flat. We knit ours on five needles, size 2.5 mm, and Lois has developed a very easy to follow pattern which is free with the yarn. Of course, if you need help, we can do that too. Socks are great to knit while travelling, and bamboo needles can now be taken on the plane.

We have also just received some new plastic needles from Drops. We just have the straight ones at present in sizes 5.5 mm to 12 mm and each size comes in a unique colour. They are very reasonably priced. Great for a beginner knitter and look pretty too.

We shall be receiving lots of new yarn over the next few weeks so I shall be letting you know as it arrives.
