Patterns to the yarns - that helps a lot

Good new yarns from Kertzer gets you prepared for the winter knits. Based on the success of yarns like Marble DK , Marble Chunky and Northern Worsted, Kertzer has added lines of new yarns and added pattern booklets for each of them.

These pattern booklets feature Marble Chunky and Marble DK and are $4.25 and $4.95 only:

The 100g skein retails for only $6.95 and has about 268 metres. Great Value!

Northern Worsted Tweed - A fleck of color adds to the personality of this worsted weight, 100% acrylic yarn. The tweed shades coordinate perfectly with existing Northern shades, and it's a great choice for afghans, sweaters and other garments that require more frequent washing.
