Each 50g skein offers an impressive 130 meters and retails for $11.45. Here are the shades.
Granite - A tweedy wool and acrylic blend that knits to chunky weight. The subtle colour variances in this yarn reminds us of the colour of the rockface as we drive the Sea to Sky Highway (in BC). A lovely yarn for sweaters, vests and other cool weather knits. The 50 g skein has 75 meters and reteils for $9.95. Check the shade card! See the Granite sweater to the right, which you can see in our store. It's a Raglan Cardigan with Tie and the book is available in the store or in our web site.
Creative Focus Brushed Alpaca - Love the look and feel of mohair, but have trouble with the "itch" factor? This may be the yarn for you.

We also have several new patern books with design support for these new yarns.
