Tonalita by Trendsetter Yarns



Self striping yarns in heavier (than sock yarn) weights are very popular this season and we have just received a gorgeous new yarn from Trendsetter. Called Tonalita and made in Italy, it is a 52% wool/48% acrylic yarn in the most delicious colourways. At 18 stitches to 10 cms. on a size 5.5mm needle it knits to an aran weight. The distributor sent us a sample sweater in shades of brown, orange, rust and pink - a detail of which is shown. We also have a few more patterns to choose from. The yarn would also make stunning winter scarves and shawls. This is just one of the many beautiful yarns we have received recently, as well as new colours in old favorites. Come by and check them out.
