Cotton Merino is Back

We have a fresh batch of Katia Concept Cotton Merino, including many new springy shades. This knits up in a cool, faded, mottled knitted fabric. We have a little swatch at the shop for you to see. 
Some cute projects are popping up on Ravelry using this yarn.

I really like Quick Like a Snow Bunny, a freebie using 2 balls.

The Lighthouse Hat ($4 pattern) uses Cotton Merino and a silk mohair to create a fluffy and sweet hat.

Big Fat Stratus ($2.95 pattern) uses Cotton Merino and a color-changing Aran weight yarn. I would totally do this with just Cotton Merino, or maybe mix it up with some Noro Taiyo for a cool striped effect. So many ideas!
