Four new top yarns, plus new colours!

We just got four new high end yarns in which all are "to die for..", really "divine" to feel them.

Schulana's Sojabama from Bamboo and Soy fibres; Skacel's Adagio from baby llama and silk; Skacel's Divine from baby alpaca, silk and cashmere (!); Zitron's funny couloured Farfalla for felting and more.

Plus we got new colours in for several yarns. We got solid colours for Zitron's sock yarn Trekking pro natura, which contains 25% Bamboo.

We restructured our web Yarn Store...

... for easy navigation! It helps you find the right yarns and accessories for your projects!

We introduced Yarn Lists sorted by Yarn Name, Manufacturer, Yarn Weight and Project, and added a News Page and a Kits, Books and Accessories Page. Try it out - and if not already done so, please join our mailing list!

NEW Felting Kit for Summer Projects!

Try this out - Artfelt from Zitron is a new way of felting. We just got these felting kits in beautiful colour combinations, made by Zitron in Germany. What a nice Summer project which can be done outside and by the whole creative family.
Each kit (in a transparent bag) contains enough roving (150 g in different colours) and Easyfelt Paper to make either a scarf, several pillows, or a purse. It also contains two barbed needles, one plastic sheet for felting, and an instructional slide show DVD!

Each kit is Can$ 49.50 and can be ordered online. Ask for colour combinations (1-888-588-7834) or pick them in our store!

Colours, Colours, Sunshine!

Spring here shows only glimpses of what it could be, but Summer is close and we will eventually see the sunny days and enjoy the beaches as these kids do.

Looking through the new pattern books and new yarns of this season, these photos just make me feel good about what we have to offer. The boy's red/blue sweater is done with Loft Classic, the other two colourful bulky sweaters are knit with Unikat. All yarns are from Zitron and all patterns in the newest Zitron kids pattern book - a feast for the eyes!

Great New Books just arrived!

I just posted 9 new books in our web site, which adds nicely to the ones which were already listed there. We carry more in our store, of course!

This is Inge's favourite new book:
Amy R. Singer: No Sheep For You - your guide to the wonders of knitting without wool. Get cozy with some of the most luxurious (not most expensive) fibres on the planet. Learn all about nonwool yarns, including cotton, silk, linen, soy, bamboo, hemp, Tencel, rayon, and their characteristics. Delight in the 21 knockout patterns. "No Sheep For You is full of wit, wisdom, and answers to questions I never even thought to ask about my favorite fibers. And it's a wonderful pattern book."

If you cannot wear wool, this is the perfect guide. We are glad to offer the beautiful and affordable Bamboo yarn Eden from Madil (see my earlier posting) - amazing colours and sheen! See our web site.
