It's just like Christmas!


With boxes of new yarn arriving at least once a week, it's just like Christmas at the store. Several of the yarns are old favorites, but come in new colours. One of our new favorites is a yarn from Lang. It's called Mille Colori and is a 50% new wool and 50% acrylic blend. There is 92 metres on the 50 gram ball and it knits to 15 stitches/23 rows to 10 cms (4 inches) on a size 6 - 7 mm needle. There are several colours in each ball which gradually blend into one another. Estelle also provided us with a sample scarf and free pattern, so check it out. It's going quite fast, but we shall be ordering more.
