I hope you had a great weekend and are ready to start September this week. (September. How can that be?) We have some beautiful yarn just up for your fall knitting. You’ll find:
Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock Heavyweight – I love this yarn base. Heavyweight is a 4-ply light worsted that is 100% Superwash Merino, and has a generous 350 yards in the skein. Perfect for sweater knitting, warm hats and scarves, toasty cowls and shawls, and wonderfully thick and quick socks. Pattern Ideas: Stepping Stones, Honey Cowl, Saroyan, In Threes, and Clouds in My Coffee. Shown below in Grawk Fledge and Broody Bantams.
Fibernymph Self-Striping – Lisa has dyed up another batch of fun self-striping colors for us on her fingering weight yarn that is 80% Superwash Merino and 20% Nylon. She included plenty of beautiful autumn/winter colors, as well as some really great birghts (hello Highlighters!). Not only is it fun to knit socks with self-striping yarn, but you’ll like them for mittens, gloves, cowls and hats, too. Pattern Ideas: Self-Striping Socks, Greener Grass, Blurred Lines Socks, Fruit Stripe Gum Socks, Jacoby and Frankenfingers. Shown below in Hijinx and Autumn Rustic.
Universal Yarn’s Bamboo Pop – A wonderful wool-alternative for those allergic to wool, this sport weight yarn is 50% Bamboo and 50% Cotton. Soft and cool, great for sweaters, tanks, lighter shawls and scarves. Pattern Ideas: Edison, Happy Joy Hoodie, Summer Flies, Zoe Tee, and After the Rain. Shown below in Midnight Blue and Grape.
Universal Yarn’s Cotton Supreme – This one continues to be my favorite cotton to work with. Soft, beautiful, durable, and comes in many fun colors. I most recently used it to make a baby blanket this summer! Pattern Ideas: Que Sera, Summer Love Wrap, Liesl, The Walt Painted Chevron Baby Blanket, and Hexa-ghan. Shown below in Purple and Aqua.
Lorna’s Laces Solemate – This fingering weight yarn is made from 55% Superwash Merino, 30% Outlast, and 15% Nylon. Outlast is a fiber technology that interacts with the body’s microclimate to moderate temperature. Cold outside? Mittens/socks/cowls/hats done in this will warm you up. Hot outside? Shawls, scarves, hats and cowls done in this will cool you down. It’s pretty cool. 🙂 We also received two of our exclusive favorites – Meadow Wildflowers and Colorado Spruce. Pattern Ideas: Edith’s Secret, Boysenberry Yo, Shard, Business Casual, and Nurmilintu. Shown below in Daffodil and Jeans.
In case you missed it:
Last Week’s Yarn Update included Malabrigo Mora, Dream in Color Classy, Dream in Color Smooshy, and Cascade re-stocks.
Last Week’s Fabric Update included Riley Blake Toy Chest and Timeless Treasures Tonga Batiks.
Have fun shopping through the new things, and we’ll get your orders packed up with Loopy Love and shipped right out!

I’m making some a scarf using Universal Yarn’s Cotton Supreme that I bought at TLE when I was there the middle of August. It’s lovely to knit with. 🙂
