Summertime Sale: Angora

I realize that it's not really fuzzy angora season, but we have some lovely choices at the shop, so we are offering 15% off all angora and angora blend yarns this week.

The Noro Shiraito is 45% angora, and just one skein makes this shop favorite, the Soft Waves Hat.  We have made this up in almost every colorway, and they are all good.

This little sample has been hanging around the shop to show off the Schulana Angora Print and Rowan Angora Haze.  It's just some K1P1 ribbing, but it sure is nice in these colors.

This beautiful lace top from the Rowan Angora Haze book makes me appreciate the delicate beauty of the yarn and color.  Totally not my style, but I still think it's breathtaking.

I always forget about these sweet little poofs of angora from Plymouth.  They are just 50 yards, but perfect for little accents or pompoms.

It's not so blazing hot right now, so maybe August is angora season?

Movie Star

There is so much yarn in our tiny shop right now.  I must admit to being a tad overwhelmed and unsure where to start.  So, let's begin with a small thing.  

Well, two small things.

One of our loyal and fabulous knitters whipped up a few Movie Star Scarves from the ever-popular More Last Minute Knitted Gifts.  Based on how many copies of this book we sold last year, I am confident that at least half of you have it on your shelves.

These sweet little scarves were knit with Schulana Angora Fashion Print, just one ball of each color for the pair.  Wouldn't these make such nice little gifts?  The knitting is straight-forward, and the results are perfectly professional.

There are only four colorways of this yarn for now, and we have all four.  The color collection is unusual, but they are very pretty, don't you think?  We just received a new shipment last week, so we should have plenty of each color for you.

Sally is also working on the Angora Fashion Print Cowl, a freebie from Schulana.  Keep your eyes peeled for that at the shop soon, too.

Okay, I will try to wrap my mind around the ridiculous amount of yarn we received last week from Rowan and Cascade Yarns.  There is so much, my friends.  Knit up a little scarf while you're waiting for me, okay?
