Lots of yarn in today’s update (including that fun Stonehedge Crazy)! We just added in:
Leading Men Fiber Arts
It’s always fun when Steve and Andy send us a batch of their beautiful yarn. This fingering weight yarn is 75% Superwash Merino and 25% Nylon with 463 yards in the skein. Here is the 3S Shawl that I knit for Camp Loopy in the Imperfection color this summer.
Cascade
We’ve added in new colors and re-stocked all of the regulars in this batch – Heritage Wave, Superwash Sport, Heritage Sock, Ultra Pima, 220 Superwash, 220 Superwash Wave, 220 Superwash Aran, and 220. Need a very cute, quick baby gift? The Wee Lima looks adorable knit out of the 220 Wave!
Canon Hand Dyes – New Bulky Weight gradients!
These knit up so quickly and beautifully. You might try using it for Bandana Cowl, Man Hat, Gridiron Hat, Wee Speedy, Chickadee Cowl, or 2×2.
And we’ve also added in their bulky gradient with matching pompon, which include a skein of the bulky gradient and a pompon to match. Try using it for A Simple Hat for Adults, Squarshy Hat, Not Too Fancy Hat, Herriot Hat, or La Mecha Beanie.
Gherkin’s Bucket Long Stride Sock
Some re-stocks in this beautiful high-yardage line (750 of fingering weight per skein).
Stonehedge Crazy
This sportweight yarn is so fun and I can see why they call it Crazy! There are no set colors and they limit shop orders to just 50 skeins per order. (We already have more on order.) Let us know a main color that you’d like and we’ll pick a good one for you. We’ll also email you a quick and simple pattern for Loopy’s Crazy Cowl (shown below) with your Crazy purchase. It takes just one skein.
Our last Yarn Update included:
Dream in Color Smooshy with Cashmere, The Uncommon Thread Lush Worsted, Merino DK, Everyday Singles and Posh Fingering, and Stonehedge Shepherd’s Wool Worsted.
Our book giveaway today includes the two books below. Leave a comment to enter and we’ll announce winners from this week and last week on the 12/10 blog!
